To find the mean and variance of the distribution of top speeds, we need to apply the formulas for the mean (\(\mu\)) and variance (\(\sigma^2\)) of a discrete probability distribution. ### Step 1: List of data from the table - Top speeds (x): 145 km/h, 150 km/h, 160 km/h, 170 km/h - Number of racers (f): 9, 8, 11, 2 ### Step 2: Calculate the mean (\(\mu\)) The formula for the mean is: \[ \mu = \frac{\sum{(f_i \cdot x_i)}}{\sum{f_i}} \] Where \(f_i\) is the frequency (number of racers) and \(x_i\) is the top speed.
