The variance of the data $2, 4, 6, 8, 10$ is
A
$6$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
None of these
Solution
(c) Here, $\bar x = \frac{{2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10}}{5} = 6$
Hence, variance = $\frac{1}{n}\Sigma {({x_i} – \overline x )^2}$
$ = \frac{1}{5}\{ {(2 – 6)^2} + {(4 – 6)^2} + {(6 – 6)^2} + {(8 – 6)^2} + {(10 – 6)^2}\} $
$ = \frac{1}{5}\left\{ {(16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16} \right\}$$ = \frac{1}{5}\left\{ {40} \right\}$ $ = 8$.
