Expert Solution
Step 1

e)

The two formulas for sum of squares is given below:

SS=fx-μ2orSS=fx2-fx2N

The value of x¯ is obtained as given below:

Here, m is the midpoint.

μ=fmf=72.631=2.34

The table provided above helps to find the sum of squares:

m f mf f(m-x¯)2 fm2
1.9 2 3.8 0.3872 7.22
2 1 2 0.1156 4
2.1 2 4.2 0.1152 8.82
2.2 3 6.6 0.0588 14.52
2.3 5 11.5 0.008 26.45
2.4 10 24 0.036 57.6
2.5 4 10 0.1024 25
2.6 3 7.8 0.2028 20.28
2.7 1 2.7 0.1296 7.29
  31 72.6 1.1556 171.18

Formula 1:

SS=fm-μ2=0.3872+0.1156+0.1152+...+0.1296=1.1556

Formula 2:

SS=fm2-fm2N=171.18-72.6231=171.18-170.025=1.155
