In a distribution of 10 observation, the sum of the observations is 60 and sum of their squares is 1000 , then the variance is

  1. A \(8\)
  2. B \(64\)
  3. C \(32\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(64\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(n=10\), \(\begin{aligned} & \Sigma x_i=60 \\ & \Sigma x_i^2=1000\end{aligned}\) \(\because \quad \operatorname{Mean}_{(\bar{X})}=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}=\frac{60}{10}=6\) Variance \(=\frac{\Sigma\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{n}\)…
