4 The heights, \(x \mathrm {~cm}\), of a group of 28 people were measured. The mean height was found to be 172.6 cm and the standard deviation was found to be 4.58 cm . A person whose height was 161.8 cm left the group.
  1. Find the mean height of the remaining group of 27 people.
  2. Find \(\Sigma x ^ { 2 }\) for the original group of 28 people. Hence find the standard deviation of the heights of the remaining group of 27 people.
