The variance is 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for variance is;

S²= ∑ (x₁-x')² / n-1

where;

S²=variance

x₁= an x term in the data set

x'=sample mean of data set

n= number of data set

For a table as;

x₁        x'         x₁-x'        (x₁-x')²

3.5                 -0.4          0.16

1.6                  -2.3          5.29

2.4                  -1.5           2.25

3.7                  -0.2          0.04

4.1                    0.2           0.04

3.9                   0.0           0.00

10                    -2.9           8.41

3.6                  -0.3           0.09

4.2                   0.3           0.09

3.4                   -0.5           0.25

3.7                   -0.2           0.04

2.2                   -1.7            2.89

∑46.3  x' 3.9                  ∑ 19.55

x'=46.3/12 = 3.9

Given n=12, hence n-1 =12-1 = 11

19.55/11 =1.777

S²=1.8
