The variance of given data is approximately 1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data:

3.5, 1.6, 2.4, 3.7, 4.1, 3.9, 1.0, 3.6, 4.2, 3.4, 3.7, 2.2

Formula:

$\text{Variance} = \displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}$

where x_i are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{37.3}{12} =3.108$

Sum of squares of differences = 12.029

$\sigma^2 =\dfrac{12.029}{11} = 1.0024 \approx 1.09$

Thus, the variance of given data is approximately 1.09
