Answer:
1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
9, 7, 6.5, 7.5, 7, 8, 5, 6, 7.5, 8
Sum = 9 + 7 + 6.5 + 7.5 + 7 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 7.5 + 8 = 71.5
N = 10
Mean = 7.15
Variance = Σ (x - mean)² / n
= [1.85 ² + (-0.15) ² + (-0.65) ² + 0.35 ² + (-0.15) ² + 0.85 ² + (-2.15) ² + (-1.15) ² + 0.35 ² + 0.85 ²]/10
= [3.4225 + 0.0225 + 0.4225 + 0.1225 + 0.0225 + 0.7225 + 4.6225 + 1.3225 + 0.1225 + 0.7225 ]/10
= 11.525/10
= 1.1525
the variance of the data set 1.15
