Answer
$\therefore\ \text{SD}\sqrt{\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}^2_\text{i}}{\text{N}}-\Big(\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{N}}\Big)^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1393}{60}-\Big(\frac{277}{60}\Big)^2}$
$=\sqrt{23.23-(4.62)^2}$
$=\sqrt{23.21-21.34}$
$=\sqrt{1.87}=1.37$ Hence, the required $ \text{SD}= 1.37$
