The table below shows a frequency distribution of the number of pickup trucks sold at 85 truck dealerships in Maine over an 18-month period.
Number of trucks sold/Number of dealerships:
70-90/2
90-110/11
110-130/39
130-150/17
150-170/9
170-190/7
Find the interval about the sample mean such that the probability is 0.90 that the true mean lies within the interval. (When P=90%, t=1.65)
I know that N=85, but I do not know how to find the standard deviation or mean in order to work the rest of the problem. Any help would be great.
Frankly, I would assign numbers to do the mean, standard deviation.
