Answer

Variance:$91.01\ (deaths)^2$. Standard deviation:$9.54 \ deaths$ Range:$28 \ deaths$.

Work Step by Step

By using the results from before: $\mu=82.7 \ deaths.$ Variance=$\frac{\sum (x-\mu)^2}{n}=\frac{(78-82.7)^2+(81-82.7)^2+...+(97-82.7)^2}{10}=91.01\ (deaths)^2.$ Standard deviation=$\sqrt{variance}=\sqrt{91.01\ (deaths)^2}=9.54 \ deaths$ Range=maximum value-minimum value=$97 \ deaths-69 \ deaths=28 \ deaths$.
