Find the variance

 

3.42
4.69
4.85
3.72

Explanation

x f fx (x - \(\bar{x}\)) (x - \(\bar{x}\))\(^2\) f(x - \(\bar{x}\))\(^2\)
0 5 0 -3.26 10.628 53.14
1 7 7 -2.26 5.108 35.756
2 3 6 -1.26 1.588 4.764
3 7 21 -0.26 0.068 0.476
4 11 44 0.74 0.548 6.028
5 6 30 1.74 3.028 18.168
6 7 42 2.74 7.508 52.556
  46 150     170.888

Variance = \(\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{170.888}{46}\)

= 3.72
