(i) To find the mean height \(\bar{x}\), use the formula:
\(\bar{x} = 130 - \frac{\Sigma(x - 130)}{82}\)
Substitute the given values:
\(\bar{x} = 130 - \frac{-287}{82} = 130 + \frac{287}{82}\)
\(\bar{x} = 130 + 3.5 = 126.5 \text{ cm}\)
(ii) To find \(\Sigma(x - 130)^2\), use the formula for variance:
\(\frac{\Sigma(x - 130)^2}{82} - (\bar{x} - 130)^2 = 6.9^2\)
Substitute \(\bar{x} - 130 = -3.5\):
\(\frac{\Sigma(x - 130)^2}{82} - (-3.5)^2 = 6.9^2\)
\(\frac{\Sigma(x - 130)^2}{82} = 6.9^2 + 3.5^2\)
\(\frac{\Sigma(x - 130)^2}{82} = 47.61 + 12.25 = 59.86\)
\(\Sigma(x - 130)^2 = 82 \times 59.86 = 4908.52\)
Thus, \(\Sigma(x - 130)^2 \approx 4908.5 \text{ cm}\).
