Find the center point for each bin, as an example,
C%5B1%5D=%2891%2B100%29%2F2=95.5
.
.
.
95.5,3
85.5,4
75.5,8
65.5,4
55.5,3
.
.
.
To find the mean, find the weighted average,

You could have also used a symmetry argument since the data values are centered about 75.5.
.
.
.
Now for the standard deviation, sum the deviations from the mean, weight them, and take the square root.

+sigma%5E2=145.4545
sigma=12.1
