Scores: 57, 49, 53, 60, 58, 59, 48,
Solution:
Given that
| x | x2 | 
| 57 | 3249 | 
| 49 | 2401 | 
| 53 | 2809 | 
| 60 | 3600 | 
| 58 | 3364 | 
| 59 | 3481 | 
| 48 | 2304 | 
| ∑x=384 | ∑x2=21208 | 
a ) The sample mean is 
Mean 
  = (
x/
n) )
= ( 57+49+ 53+ 60+ 58+ 59,+48 / 7 )
= 384 / 7
= 54.8571
Mean 
  = 54.8571
b ) Median :
Observations in the ascending order are :
48,49,53,57,58,59,60
Here, n = 7 is even
M = Value of ( n + 1 / 2) Observation.
= Value of ( 7 + 1 / 2) Observation.
= Value of 4th Observation.
= 57
Median = 57
c ) Population standard deviation = 
= 
 ( 
 x2 ) - (( 
x )2 / n ) / n )
= 
21208- ( 384 /7 )2 / 7
=  
21208--
21065.1429 / 7
= 
 142.8571 / 7
= 
2040.82
= 4.5175
Population standard deviation = 4.5175
