The correct answer is sd=12.1 but I don't know how. My work looks like 20+29/2= 24.5 x 2=49 and so on to get all the midpoint values then I add them all together to get the mean. Then I do (2x 49)^2 +(1x34.5)...... and then divide by the total frequency value to find the variance then I square root it to get standard deviation. But my answer is wrong and no where close to 12.1Please help.

The correct answer is sd=12.1 but I don't know how. My work

x) 3.2.37 Find the standard deviation, s, of sample data summarized in the frequency distribution table below by using the formula below, where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency, and n represents the total number of sample values. Also, compare the computed standard deviation to the standard deviation obtained from the original list of data values, 11.1. [E (fox) ]-[E(.x)]2 n(n- 1) Interval 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 Frequency 2 2 12 37 33 Standard deviation = 12.1 (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Consider a difference of 20% between two values of a standard deviation to be significant. How does this computed value compare with the given standard deviation, 1
