    Hi

    It seems there was a calculation error when calculating the variance. The squeare of 0.46(the difference between the observation 2 and the arthmetic mean 1.54) is 0.21. Then the frequency(4) multiplied by 0.21 equals 0.84 and not 0.17?

    Can you please let me know wheter I misunderstood?

    Regards
    Annelise

    You are correct and I must re-record the lecture – thank you for spotting it.

    However the answer at the back of the free lecture notes is correct (although the figure for 3 complaints is wrong due to a typing mistake – but the final answer is correct)
    I will have that corrected as well!
