If the mean of the data : \(7, 8, 9, 7, 8, 7, \mathop \lambda \limits^. , 8\) is \(8\), then the variance of this data is

  1. A \(\frac{9}{8}\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left( d \right)\,\,\bar x = \frac{{7 + 8 + 9 + 7 + 8 + 7 + \lambda + 8}}{8} = 8\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{{54 + \lambda }}{8} = 8 \Rightarrow \lambda = 10\) Now variance \( = {\sigma ^2}\)…
