Mean, $ \bar x = A + \frac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{y_i}} }}{N} \times h$

$ = 105 + \frac{2}{{30}} \times 30 = 105 + 2 = 107$

Variance,  $\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \frac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - {{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)}^2}} } \right]$

$=\frac{(30)^{2}}{(30)^{2}}\left[30 \times 76-(2)^{2}\right]$

$=2280-4$

$=2276$
