running of a particular computer programme, which used disc file handling
facilities. The results of the 1290 access times were as follows:
Access time in milliseconds Frequency
30 but less than 35    - 17
35 but less than 40      - 24 
40 but less than 45  --- 19 
45 but less than 50 ---- 28
50 but less than 55      - 19 
55 but less than 60 ---- 13 

Required:
I. Determine the mean access time for this programme. 
II. Determine the standard deviation of the access time for this programme. 
III. Interpret for your manager, who is not familiar with grouped data, what the results of parts (i) and (ii) mean.
