Chapters 1-3:In order to control costs‚ a company wishes to study the amount of money its sales force spends entertaining clients. The following is a random sample of six entertainment expenses (dinner costs for four people) from expense reports submitted by members of the sales force. $157‚ $132‚ $109‚ $145‚ $125‚ $139. Calculate the mean and sample variance(s^2) and standard deviation. Mean = 807/6 = 134.5. Sample Variance = (109925 – (807^2/6)/6-1 = (109925 – 108541)/5 = 1384/5 = 276.8.
