Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Observations : 2, 3, 5, 8, 12 \[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Mean }=\frac{2+3+5+8+12}{5}=6 \\ & \therefore \quad \sigma^2=\frac{\sum\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{n}=\frac{16+9+1+4+36}{5}=\frac{66}{5} \\ & \therefore \quad \sigma^2=13.2 \\ & \text { Median }=5=m \end{aligned} \]…
