    Variance of the numbers \[3,7,10,18,22\] is equal to

    A) 12

    B) 6.4

    C) \[\sqrt{49.2}\]

    D) 49.2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The mean of the given items \[\overline{x}=\frac{3+7+10+18+22}{5}=12\] Hence, variance \[=\frac{1}{n}\sum{{{({{x}_{i}}-\bar{x})}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{5}\left\{ {{(3-12)}^{2}}+{{(7-12)}^{2}}+{{(10-12)}^{2}}+{{(18-12)}^{2}}+{{(22-12)}^{2}} \right\}\]\[=\frac{1}{5}\{81+25+4+36+100\}=\frac{246}{5}=49.2\]
