Your data is easier to read this time. The answers haven't changed, though.

Your class marks are 25,35,45,55,65,75,85, and 95

m = 1,000*(3*25 + 6*35 + 8*45 + 7*55 + 7*65 + 5*75 + 1*85 + 3*95) / 40 = 55,750
var = 1,000,000*(3*30.75^2 + 6*20.75^2 + 8*10.75^2 + 7*0.75^2 + 7*9.25^2 + 5*19.25^2 + 1*29.25^2 + 3*39.25^2) / 40 = 356,937,500
sigma = $18,893

Steve can be pretty sure that 25% of his customers earn less than $43,000, and 25% make more than 68,500.

He can gear sales campaigns to reach certain groups
