Solution

We prepare the following table to compute variance and S.D.:

xi fi ui = xi –  A
A = 34
fiui fiui2 = fiui × ui
31 15 – 3 – 45 135
32 12 – 2 – 24 48
33 10 – 1 – 10 10
34 8 0 0 0
35 9 1 9 9
36 10 2 20 40
37 6 3 18 54
  `sumf_"i"` = 70   `sumf_"i"u_"i"` = – 32 `sumf_"i"u_"i"^2` = 296

From the table, `sumf_"i"u_"i" = -32, sumf_"i" = 70, sumf_"i"u_"i"^2` = 296 

∴ `bar(u) = (sumf_"i"u_"i")/(sumf_"i") = (-32)/70` = – 0.4571

`sigma_u^2 = (sumf_"i"u_"i"^2)/(sumf_"i") - (baru)^2 = 296/70 - (-0.4571)^2`

= 4.2286 – 0.2089 = 4.0197

∴ Var (x) = `sigma_x^2 = sigma_u^2` = 4.0197

S.D. = `sigma_x = sqrt(4.0197)` = 2.005

Hence, variance = 4.0197 and S.D. = 2.005
