Answer

$R=45~thousand~dollars $ The population variance: $σ^2=160~(thousand~dollars)^2$ The population standard deviation: $σ=12.65~thousand~dollars$

Work Step by Step

$R=largest~value-smallest~value=75-30=45$ The mean: $μ=\frac{30+30+45+50+50+50+55+55+60+75}{10}=50$ The population variance: $σ^2=\frac{Σ(x_i-μ)^2}{n}=\frac{(30-50)^2+(30-50)^2+(45-50)^2+(50-50)^2+(50-50)^2+(50-50)^2+(55-50)^2+(55-50)^2+(60-50)^2+(75-50)^2}{10}=160$ The population standard deviation: $σ=\sqrt {160}=12.65$
