2. The number of chocolates eaten by children in 5 families are 4, 6, 8, 12, and 15. Find their Standard Deviation.

3. The scores of a cricketer in 7 matches are 70, 80, 60, 50, 40, 90, and 95. Find the Standrad Deviation.

4. Find the Standard Deviation and the Variance of the following:-

x   10   15   18   20   25
f    3     2     5    8     2

5. Find the Variance of the following data:

Variable     10     6     18     14     22     2
Frequency  10    7      7      15      6      5
