I have converted everything in actual millions.

The grouped data information provided, with the corresponding frequencies is shown in the table below:

Classes Frequency (f)
25-34 20,200,000
35-44 35,900,000
45-54 32,700,000
55-64 29,800,000

For each of the grouped classes we need to compute the midpoint (M), by calculating the average between the lower and upper value of the class. Then, the following table is obtained:

Classes M f M · f M2 · f
25-34 29.5 20200000 595900000 17579050000
35-44 39.5 35900000 1418050000 56012975000
45-54 49.5 32700000 1618650000 80123175000
55-64 59.5 29800000 1773100000 105499450000
Sum = 118600000 5405700000 259214650000

From the table, we compute the sample mean as follows:

Also, the sample variance is calculated as follows:

Therefore, the sample standard deviation s is directly computed by taking the square root from the sample variance.
