The book cost (in dollars) for one semester's books are given below for a sample of five college students. Calculate the sample variance of the book costs. 200, 130, 400, 500, 345 Group of answer choices

17,960

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data, book cost (in dollars) = 200, 130, 400, 500, 345.

First of all, we will find the mean of the given data.

Or

Mean = (200+130+400+500+345)/5

Mean = 1575/5 = 315.

Second step is to subtract the mean from each book cost;

(200-315) + (130-315) + (400-315) + (500-315) + (345-315)

(-115)+(-185)+85+185+30

Next you square the above deviation;

Then, divide the above by the average which is 5 in this case.

Hence, the value of the variance is 17,960.

i do not know the answer i am sorry

687.09 dollars       happy now

step-by-step explanation: 6870

1857 times .63 equals 1169.91 subtract that from 1857 you get 687.09
