a) Find the Range of stock prices ($) and complete the frequency distribution table.
b) Find:
i. Mean
ii. Median

40 – 50 25
50 – 60 23
60 – 70 0+X

Where X is the sum of the last two digits of your BRAC University ID. For example: if your
university ID is: 18123456 then X would be 5 + 6 = 11. Estimate the following:
a) sample variance and the sample standard deviation
