Find the mean, variance and standard deviation using short-cut method
| Height in cms | $70-75$ | $75-80$ | $80-85$ | $85-90$ | $90-95$ | $95-100$ | $100-105$ | $105-110$ | $110-115$ |

| Class Interval | Frequency ${f_i}$ | Mid-point ${f_i}$ | ${y_i} = \frac{{{x_i} - 92.5}}{5}$ | ${y_i}^2$ | ${f_i}{y_i}$ | ${f_i}{y_i}^2$ |
| $70-7$ | $3$ | $72.5$ | $-4$ | $16$ | $-12$ | $48$ |
| $75-80$ | $4$ | $77.5$ | $-3$ | $9$ | $-12$ | $36$ |
| $80-85$ | $7$ | $82.5$ | $-2$ | $4$ | $-14$ | $28$ |
| $85-90$ | $7$ | $87.5$ | $-1$ | $1$ | $-7$ | $7$ |

Mean, $\bar x = A + \frac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}} }}{N} \times h$
$ = 92.5 + \frac{6}{{60}} \times 5 = 92.5 + 0.5 = 93$
Variance, $\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - {{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)}^2}} } \right]$
$=\frac{(5)^{2}}{(60)^{2}}\left[60 \times 254-(6)^{2}\right]$
$=\frac{25}{3600}(15204)=105.58$
$\therefore$ Standard deviation $(\sigma)=\sqrt{105.58}=10.27$
