Answer to Question 1

mean = 10
variance = 12.5
standard deviation = 3.54

calculation of mean:
50/5

calculation of variance:
s2 = SS/df
(610)2 + (810)2 + (910)2 + (1210)2 + (1510)2 / 4 = 12.5
or using the computational formula:
(36+64+81+144+225)  (50)2/5 / 4 = (550  500) / 4 = 12.5

calculation of standard deviation:
square root of 12.5

Answer to Question 2

B
