A sample of 36 data values, \(x\), gave \(\Sigma(x - 45) = -148\) and \(\Sigma(x - 45)^2 = 3089\).

  1. Find the mean and standard deviation of the 36 values.
  2. One extra data value of 29 was added to the sample. Find the standard deviation of all 37 values.

Delip measured the speeds, x km per hour, of 70 cars on a road where the speed limit is 60 km per hour. His results are summarised by \(\Sigma(x - 60) = 245\).

  1. Calculate the mean speed of these 70 cars.
  2. His friend Sachim used values of \((x - 50)\) to calculate the mean. Find \(\Sigma(x - 50)\).
  3. The standard deviation of the speeds is 10.6 km per hour. Calculate \(\Sigma(x - 50)^2\).

Esme noted the test marks, \(x\), of 16 people in a class. She found that \(\Sigma x = 824\) and that the standard deviation of \(x\) was 6.5.

  1. Calculate \(\Sigma(x - 50)\) and \(\Sigma(x - 50)^2\).
  2. One person did the test later and her mark was 72. Calculate the new mean and standard deviation of the marks of all 17 people.

Anita made observations of the maximum temperature, \(t\) ยฐC, on 50 days. Her results are summarised by \(\Sigma t = 910\) and \(\Sigma (t - \bar{t})^2 = 876\), where \(\bar{t}\) denotes the mean of the 50 observations. Calculate \(\bar{t}\) and the standard deviation of the observations.
