Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 43.75

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the given information, \[ \begin{aligned} \bar{x} & =\frac{\sum x_i}{8}=\frac{80}{8}=10 \\ \because \quad \sum\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2 & =350 \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Variance of the given observations \(=\frac{\Sigma\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{8}\)…
