Problem 2:
The ages of the patients of a local health center for the past year are given by
the following table:

AGE FREQUENCY
35 - 39 5
40 - 44 15
45 - 49 38
50 - 54 29
55 - 59 13

A. Find the MEAN age

AGE FREQUENCY X FX
35 - 39 5 37 185
40 - 44 15 42 630
45 - 49 38 47 1786

D. Find the RANGE of the ages

AGE FREQUENCY

UB
59 + 0.5 = 59.5

Range = UBHC – LBLC

= 59.5 – 34. 5
= 25

E. Find the STANDARD DEVIATION
