Answer:

Mean=2891.125.

Standard deviation=623.3918

Explanation:

Let X be the birth weights of SIDS cases in King County, Washington.

The appropriate last observation is 2863.(also confirmed by web search)

Sample mean=xbar=sumx/n

sumx=2466 +3941 +2807 +3118 +2098 +3175 +3515 +3317 +3742 +3062 +3033 +2353 +2013 +3515 +3260 +2892 +1616 +4423 +3572 +2750 +2807 +2807 +3005 +3374 +2722 +2495 +3459 +3374 +1984 +2495 +3062 +3005 +2608 +2353 +4394 +3232 +2013 +2551 +2977 +3118 +2637 +1503 +2438 +2722 +2863 +2013+ 3232 +2863

sumx=138774

Xbar=138774/48

The sample standard deviation can be calculated as


Standard deviation=\sqrt{(sum(x-xbar)^2)/(n-1) }

sum(X-Xbar)² =180731.2656 +1102237.516 +7077.015625 +51472.26563 +629047.2656 +80585.01563 +389220.0156 +181369.5156 +723988.2656 +29198.26563 +20128.51563 +289578.5156 +771103.5156 +389220.0156 +136068.7656 +0.765625 +1625943.766 +2346641.016 +463590.7656 +19916.26563 +7077.015625 +7077.015625 +12967.51563 +233168.2656 +28603.26563 +156915.0156 +322482.0156 +233168.2656 +822875.7656 +156915.0156 +29198.26563 +12967.51563 +80159.76563 +289578.5156 +2258633.266 +116195.7656 +771103.5156 +115685.0156 +7374.515625 +51472.26563 +64579.51563 +1926891.016 +205322.2656 +28603.26563 +791.015625 +771103.5156 +116195.7656 +791.015625

sum(X-Xbar)² =18265013.25


Standard deviation=\sqrt{(18265013.25)/(48-1) }


Standard deviation=\sqrt{(18265013.25)/(47) }


Standard deviation=√(388617.3032)

Standard deviation=623.3918.
