Solution

$\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n } x _{ i }=10\,n$

$\text { Now } \frac{\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n } x _{ i }^2}{20} x _{ i }-8+12=(10.2) n \quad \therefore n =20$

$\frac{\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{20} x _{ i }2-8^2+12^2}{20}-4 \Rightarrow \sum \limits_{ i =1}^{20} x _{ i }^2=2080$

$=108-104.04=3.96$
