(i) Find an appropriate measure of central tendency
Use the mark of each class as that classes' value.
--------
Then:: mean = (5*5+12*15+20*25+16*35+5*5*45+2*55)/60 ~ 27
-------
(ii) Find an appropriate measure of dispersion
Using a TI-84 Plus
List L1 with the class marks:: 5,15,25,35,45,55
List L2 with the frequencies:: 5,12,20,16,5,2
----
Press: Stat; 2-Var Stat; ENTER
Standard deviation = 18.7
