help.... :-(

Okay, let try this one again. Sorry for the formatting issue:

Mean hrs= number of subjects/total hours driving (200/1580) = 7.9
Standard Deviation for hours driving: Needs to equal 1.05 I can get

that
by
taking 12702(power1580,2)/200 which = 220
taking that sum (220) and making another calculation. sqrt(220/200-1)
Those combined net the standard deviation, but there has to be an easier
way.... Any help would be appreciated.


# of sub = subjects
x f xf x2f

3.5 2 7 24.5
4.5 2 9 40.5
5.5 4 22 121
6.5 22 143 929.5
