Step-by-step solution

  1. Create an extended frequency distribution table.

    To find the mean and standard deviation, we need the class midpoints (xx), the product of frequency and midpoint (fxfx), the square of the midpoint (x2x^2), and the product of frequency and squared midpoint (fx2fx^2). For the median class, we need the cumulative frequency (cfcf).

    65-693672018448913467
    70-7467243214518431104
    75-7947730818592923716

    85-89108787036756975690

    Total∑f=40\sum f = 40∑fx=3170\sum fx = 3170∑fx2=254940\sum fx^2 = 254940
  2. Find the Modal Class.

    The modal class is the class interval with the highest frequency.
    From the table, the highest frequency is 10, which corresponds to the class interval 85-89.

    The modal class is 85-89\boxed{\text{85-89}}.

  3. Find the Median Class.

    The median class is the class where the cumulative frequency first exceeds or equals N2\frac{N}{2}.
    The total number of data points is N=∑f=40N = \sum f = 40.
    We need to find the class containing the N2\frac{N}{2}-th value, which is the 402=20\frac{40}{2} = 20-th value.
    Looking at the cumulative frequency (cfcf) column:

    • The class 75-79 has a cfcf of 18.
    • The class 80-84 has a cfcf of 26. Since 26 is the first cumulative frequency greater than or equal to 20, the median class is 80-84.

    The median class is 80-84\boxed{\text{80-84}}.

  4. Calculate the Mean (xˉ\bar{x}).

    The formula for the mean of grouped data is:

    xˉ=∑fxN\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{N}

    Substitute the values from the table:

    xˉ=317040\bar{x} = \frac{3170}{40} xˉ=79.25\bar{x} = 79.25

    The mean is 79.25\boxed{79.25}.

  5. Calculate the Standard Deviation (ss).

    The formula for the standard deviation of grouped data is:

    s=∑fx2−(∑fx)2/NN−1s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum fx^2 - (\sum fx)^2 / N}{N-1}}

    Substitute the values from the table:

    ∑fx2=254940\sum fx^2 = 254940 ∑fx=3170\sum fx = 3170 N=40N = 40 s=254940−(3170)2/4040−1s = \sqrt{\frac{254940 - (3170)^2 / 40}{40-1}} s=254940−10048900/4039s = \sqrt{\frac{254940 - 10048900 / 40}{39}} s=254940−251222.539s = \sqrt{\frac{254940 - 251222.5}{39}} s=3717.539s = \sqrt{\frac{3717.5}{39}} s=95.32051282s = \sqrt{95.32051282} s≈9.76s \approx 9.76

    The standard deviation is 9.76\boxed{9.76}.
