Detailed Solution

Corrected $\sum x = 40 \times 200 - 50 + 40 = 7990$
incorrect $\bar{x} = \frac{7990}{200} = 39.95$
correct $\sum x^{2} = n (σ^{2} + {\bar{x}}^{2}) = 200 (5^{2} + 40^{2}) = 365000$
corrected $σ = \sqrt{\frac{364100}{200} - {(39.95)}^{2}} = \sqrt{(1820.5 - 1596)}$
$= \sqrt{224.5} = 14.98$
