The diameters of the spores of lycopodium can be found by an interference method. The results of such an experiment are given below. The constant factor k = 5880 when the diameters are measured in cm.
k diameter(cm) 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Number of spores 1 1 8 24 48 58 35 16 8 1
(a) Find the mean diameter of the spores.
(b) Calculate the standard deviation from the mean.
(c) Draw a normalised histogram of the data.
(d) Plot the corresponding normal frequency curve on the same set of axes.
