Amy measured her pulse rate while resting, x beats per minute, at the same time each day on 30 days. The results are summarised below.

\(\Sigma (x - 80) = -147\)

\(\Sigma (x - 80)^2 = 952\)

Find the mean and standard deviation of Amyโ€™s pulse rate.

A traffic camera measured the speeds, x kilometres per hour, of 8 cars travelling along a certain street, with the following results.

62.7, 59.6, 64.2, 61.5, 68.3, 66.9, 62.0, 62.3

  1. Find \(\Sigma(x - 62)\).
  2. Find \(\Sigma(x - 62)^2\).

Swati measured the lengths, x cm, of 18 stick insects and found that \(\Sigma x^2 = 967\). Given that the mean length is \(\frac{58}{9}\) cm, find the values of \(\Sigma (x - 5)\) and \(\Sigma (x - 5)^2\).

A summary of the speeds, x kilometres per hour, of 22 cars passing a certain point gave the following information:

\(\Sigma(x - 50) = 81.4\) and \(\Sigma(x - 50)^2 = 671.0\).

Find the variance of the speeds and hence find the value of \(\Sigma x^2\).
