Answer

Variance:$37.58$. Standard deviation:$6.13$ Range:$17.5$.

Work Step by Step

By using the results from before: $\mu=11.05$ Variance=$\frac{\sum (x-\mu)^2}{n}=\frac{(3-11.05)^2+(6.5-11.05)^2+...+(17.5-11.05)^2}{5}=37.58.$ Standard deviation=$\sqrt{variance}=\sqrt{37.58}=6.13$ Range=maximum value-minimum value=$20.5-3=17.5$.
