Find the mean and variance for each of the data in Exercise.
6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12
We know that Mean, ![]()
Where n = number of observations and
= Sum of total observations
∴![]()
From the given data, we can form the table:

We know that Variance, σ2 = ![]()
∴ σ2 = (1/8) × 74 = 9.25
Ans. Mean = 9 and Variance = 9.25
