a) The maintenance department has tested the batteries in one of its stores. The tested batteries were 1000 batteries of 338 V. Your supervisor gave you the results as shown in the group frequency table 1 below. 1. Use that data given to calculate the mean, and standard deviation of the data. 2. Explain the relevance of mean and standard deviation to someone who does not know what they are, without explaining the terms themselves. Make sure not to explain the terms mean and SD as terms, explain their relevance to the batteries. You may support your explanations with graphs. You may use a spreadsheet for these calculations, but you must provide clear evidence of the formulas used in each cell and submit the spreadsheet file with your report.

Task 5
a) The maintenance department has tested the batteries in one of its stores. The tested
batteries were 1000 batteries of 338 V. Your supervisor gave you the results as shown in the
group frequency table 1 below.
1. Use that data given to calculate the mean, and standard deviation of the data.
2. Explain the relevance of mean and standard deviation to someone who does not know what
they are, without explaining the terms themselves. Make sure not to explain the terms mean
and SD as terms, explain their relevance to the batteries. You may support your explanations
with graphs.
You may use a spreadsheet for these calculations, but you must provide clear evidence of the
formulas used in each cell and submit the spreadsheet file with your report.
