Answer:
2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We would first calculate the mean, because we would need it to calculate our varance.
Mean= sum of the number of given data set/ total number
Mean = (9 +8 +9 +5 +9 )/5
= 40/5= 8
variance (σ2):= [(9-8)^2 + (8-8)^2 + (9-8)^2 +(5-8)^2 +(9-8)^2]/5
=( 1+ 0 + 1 +9 +1)/5
= 12/5
variance (σ2)= 12/5
=2.4
