What is the variance of the following data? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. 23, 50, 49, 48, 49, 32, 37, 40, 41, 42, 41, 41, 43

To find the variance, first find the mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean is 1736

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the mean HAS to be between 20 and 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then subtract the mean from each of the numbers. For example: 23 - mean. And be careful because mean = all the numbers added together / the amount of numbers

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if it must be done without a calculator, you can subtract a random amount from each data point and work the smaller set as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

536 / 13 = 41.23 (rounded) You would subtract this number from each number listed, then square it. It's a long process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are also no negatives after you square the numbers.
