Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2 n^2+3 n+1}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

First \(n\) natural numbers \[ 1,2,3,4, \ldots, n \] Their squares \(1^2, 2^2, 3^2, \ldots, n^2\) \[ \text { Now mean }=\frac{\text { Sum of observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }} \]…
