Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation


FedEx and United Parcel Service (UPS) are the world's two leading cargo carriers through volume and revenue (The Wall Street Journal, January 27, 2004). According to Airports Council International, the Memphis International Airport (FedEx) and Louisville International Airport (UPS) are two of the ten largest cargo airports in the world. The following random samples show the tons of cargo per day handled by these airports. Data are in thousands of tons.

Population 1 = Memphis and population 2 = Louisville

Memphis samples are as follows: 9.1, 15.1, 8.8, 10.0, 7.5, 10.5, 8.3, 9.1, 6.0, 5.8, 12.1, and 9.3

Louisville samples are as follows: 4.7, 5.0, 4.2, 3.3, 5.5, 2.2, 4.1, 2.6, 3.4, and 7.0
