Q. In the data set below, what is the variance?7,3,1,1,9,5,2If the answer is a decimal, round it to the nearest tenth.variance (σ2): _____
Calculate Sum Squared Differences: Now, let's calculate the sum of the squared differences from the mean.(7−4)2+(3−4)2+(1−4)2+(1−4)2+(9−4)2+(5−4)2+(2−4)2= 9+1+9+9+25+1+4= 58
Divide by Number of Data Points: Finally, we divide by the number of data points to get the variance.Variance σ2 = 758Variance σ2≈8.3 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
