Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(9.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu = \frac{3+4+5+6+7+8+10+13}{8} = \frac{56}{8} = 7\) \(\sigma^2 = \frac{(3-7)^2+(4-7)^2+(5-7)^2+(6-7)^2+(7-7)^2+(8-7)^2+(10-7)^2+(13-7)^2}{8}\) \(\sigma^2 = \frac{16+9+4+1+0+1+9+36}{8}\) \(\sigma^2 = \frac{76}{8} = 9.5\)
