                      a) Find the estimates  for the mean and the standard  deviation of the weights.
                      b) i) Complete the following cumulative  frequency  table.

                                                 <80
                                                 < 100
                                                 < 120

                         ii) Then plot the cumulative  frequency  graph

                      c) Estimate  the number  of chocolates  that weigh less than 50 g.
                      d) Estimate  the median,  the upper and lower  quartiles.
                      e) Sketch the box-and-whisker  diagram_
                                                                     -
                      f) The prices  of the chocolates,  $p, are given  by 2wz  3, where  w represents  the weights  of
                         the chocolates. Find the mean  price  of the chocolates.
