Solution and Explanation

6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12

Mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{8}}{n}=\frac{6+7+10+12+13+4+8+12}{8}=\frac{72}{8}=9\)

The following table is obtained

\(x_i\)\((x_i-\bar{x})\)\((x_i-\bar{x})^2\)
639
724
1011
1239
13416
4525
811
1239
  74

\(Variance(σ^2)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{8}(x_i-\bar{x})^2=\frac{1}{8}×74=9.25\)
