I put the medians of each inequality into my calculator and the frequency for it.
So 13.5 for the first one etc
I get mean 19.4 so check your (boring) arithmetic. Did you divide by 32?
Really not going to do the std dev unless really necessary.

Just calculated it manually and got the right answer,

When I did it originally I think I put it into the two variable version mode and not one variable. Stupid mistake but at least I won't make it in the exam now
