Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(31.14\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } \frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}=\frac{49}{7}=7 \\ & \Sigma x_i^2=1+4+9+25+64+169+289=561 \\ & \sigma^2=\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\right)^2=\frac{561}{7}-49=\frac{218}{7}=31.14\end{aligned}\)
