(a) To calculate the mean, we first need to find the midpoint of each interval (class mark), multiply it by the frequency, sum these products, and then divide by the total frequency. The standard deviation is a bit more complex. It involves subtracting the mean from each class mark, squaring the result, multiplying by the frequency, summing these products, dividing by the total frequency, and then taking the square root.

(b) The median is the value that separates the higher half from the lower half of the data set. In a frequency distribution, it can be found by adding the lower class limit of the median group to the product of the class width and the quotient of half the total frequency minus the cumulative frequency of the group before the median group, all divided by the frequency of the median group. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. In a frequency distribution, it can be found by adding the lower class limit of the modal group to the product of the difference between the frequency of the modal group and the frequency of the group before it, all divided by twice the difference between the frequency of the modal group and the frequencies of the groups before and after it, all multiplied by the class width.

(c) The mean is a measure of central tendency that considers all values in the data set and is affected by outliers. The median is a measure of central tendency that is not affected by outliers and represents the middle value of the data set. The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the most frequently occurring value in the data set.

(d) To estimate the number of weeks that there were fewer than 275 capacitors produced, we need to sum the frequencies of the groups that are less than 275.
