Answer

Variance:$82.62 \ (\$)^2$. Standard deviation:$9.09 \$$ Range:$22.85\$$.

Work Step by Step

By using the results from before: $\mu=59.22 \ \$.$ Variance=$\frac{\sum (x-\mu)^2}{n}=\frac{(55.99-59.22)^2+(69.99-59.22)^2+...+(59.68-59.22)^2}{6}=82.62 \ (\$)^2.$ Standard deviation=$\sqrt{variance}=\sqrt{82.62 \ (\$)^2}=9.09 \$$ Range=maximum value-minimum value=$71.77 \$-48.92 \$=22.85\$$.
