Answer -

Let the assumed mean A= 64. Here h = 1

We obtain thefollowing table from the given data.

Mean,

Where A = 64, h = 1

So, x̅ = 64 + ((0/100)× 1)

= 64 + 0

= 64

Then, variance,

σ2 =(12/1002) [100(286) – 02]

= (1/10000) [28600 –0]

= 28600/10000

= 2.86

Hence, standarddeviation = σ = √2.886

= 1.691

 Mean = 64 andStandard Deviation = 1.691
