Barry weighs 20 oranges and 25 lemons. For the oranges, the mean weight is 220 g and the standard deviation is 32 g. For the lemons, the mean weight is 118 g and the standard deviation is 12 g.
(i) Find the mean weight of the 45 fruits.
(ii) The individual weights of the oranges in grams are denoted by \(x_o\), and the individual weights of the lemons in grams are denoted by \(x_l\). By first finding \(\Sigma x_o^2\) and \(\Sigma x_l^2\), find the variance of the weights of the 45 fruits.
