if you have a statistical calculator, input the mean of each interval ... 3, 8, 13, ...,.18 into a List. Then enter the frequencies 5, 20, ..., 3 into another list. Finally, use the 1-Var Stats feature ...

weighted mean = 12.926 years
median = 13 years
sample standard deviation = 6.016 years

hope that helped
