A group of 10 married couples and 3 single men found that the mean age \(\bar{x}_w\) of the 10 women was 41.2 years and the standard deviation of the women’s ages was 15.1 years. For the 13 men, the mean age \(\bar{x}_m\) was 46.3 years and the standard deviation was 12.7 years.
(i) Find the mean age of the whole group of 23 people.
(ii) The individual women’s ages are denoted by \(x_w\) and the individual men’s ages by \(x_m\). By first finding \(\Sigma x_w^2\) and \(\Sigma x_m^2\), find the standard deviation for the whole group.
A study of the ages of car drivers in a certain country produced the results shown in the table.
Percentage of drivers in each age group
| Young | Middle-aged | Elderly | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Males | 40 | 35 | 25 |
| Females | 20 | 70 | 10 |
Illustrate these results diagrammatically.
Each year the total number of hours, \(x\), of sunshine in Kintoo is recorded during the month of June. The results for the last 60 years are summarised in the table.
| \(x\) | 30 \(\leq x <\) 60 | 60 \(\leq x <\) 90 | 90 \(\leq x <\) 110 | 110 \(\leq x <\) 140 | 140 \(\leq x <\) 180 | 180 \(\leq x <\) 240 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of years | 4 | 8 | 14 | 25 | 7 | 2 |
Calculate an estimate for the mean number of hours of sunshine in Kintoo during June over the last 60 years.
The following table shows the results of a survey to find the average daily time, in minutes, that a group of schoolchildren spent in internet chat rooms.
| Time per day (t minutes) | Frequency |
|---|---|
| \(0 \leq t < 10\) | 2 |
| \(10 \leq t < 20\) | f |
| \(20 \leq t < 40\) | 11 |
| \(40 \leq t < 80\) | 4 |
The mean time was calculated to be 27.5 minutes.
The ages, \(x\) years, of 18 people attending an evening class are summarised by the following totals: \(\Sigma x = 745, \Sigma x^2 = 33951\).
(i) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the ages of this group of people. [3]
(ii) One person leaves the group and the mean age of the remaining 17 people is exactly 41 years. Find the age of the person who left and the standard deviation of the ages of the remaining 17 people. [4]
