Exercise 4.1.1: Sample Frequency, Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation

The following is a sample of prices, rounded to the nearest cent, charged per gallon of standard unleaded
gasoline in the San Francisco Bay area in June 1997:

137, 139, 141, 137, 144, 141, 139, 137, 144, 141, 143, 143, 141.

Represent these data in:

A frequency table.
