mean is the sum over 7 or 459/7=65.57
\n" ); document.write( "variance is sum of squares of the differences
\n" ); document.write( "6.43^2
\n" ); document.write( "12.43^2
\n" ); document.write( "4.57^2
\n" ); document.write( "17.57^2
\n" ); document.write( "6.57^2
\n" ); document.write( "10.43^2
\n" ); document.write( "0.57^2
\n" ); document.write( "all added together and divided by 6.
\n" ); document.write( "the result is 112.95 or 113 will be the answer
\n" ); document.write( "B
\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively, put the values into a list and do 1-variable stats STAT+CALC+1, and get 1-variable stats. Look at s, the sd, and square it to get the variance.
