To calculate the standard deviation and variance, we first need to find the mean of the distribution. We will use a table to organize our calculations.

  1. Create a table to calculate ∑f\sum f, ∑fx\sum fx, and ∑fx2\sum fx^2.

    Let xx be the Age and ff be the Frequency.

    Age (x)Frequency (f)fxx2x^2fx2fx^2
    642436144
    764249294
    8108064640
    9119981891
    10880100800
    11111121121
    Total403362890

    From the table:

    ∑f=40\sum f = 40 ∑fx=336\sum fx = 336 ∑fx2=2890\sum fx^2 = 2890
  2. Calculate the mean (xˉ\bar{x}).

    The formula for the mean of a frequency distribution is:

    xˉ=∑fx∑f\bar{x} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f} xˉ=33640\bar{x} = \frac{336}{40} xˉ=8.4\bar{x} = 8.4
  3. Calculate the variance (σ2\sigma^2).

    The formula for the variance of a frequency distribution is:

    σ2=∑fx2∑f−xˉ2\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum fx^2}{\sum f} - \bar{x}^2

    Substitute the values:

    σ2=289040−(8.4)2\sigma^2 = \frac{2890}{40} - (8.4)^2 σ2=72.25−70.56\sigma^2 = 72.25 - 70.56 σ2=1.69\sigma^2 = 1.69

    The variance is 1.69\boxed{\text{1.69}}.

  4. Calculate the standard deviation (σ\sigma).

    The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

    σ=σ2\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2} σ=1.69\sigma = \sqrt{1.69} σ=1.3\sigma = 1.3

    The standard deviation is 1.3\boxed{\text{1.3}}.
