Select the correct answer below:

Sagot :

Answer:

Variance is 256

Step-by-step explanation:

Variance:

[tex]var = \frac{ ({ \sum x})^{2} }{n} - {( \frac{ \sum x}{n} })^{2} [/tex]

x is the number or item in the data

n is the number of terms

[tex]{ \tt{ \sum x = (12 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 11)}} \\ { \tt{ \sum x = 40}}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]variance = \frac{ {40}^{2} }{5} - { (\frac{40}{5}) }^{2} \\ \\ = 320 - 64 \\ variance = 256[/tex]
