Question
In testing a certain kind of missile, target accuracy is measured by the average distance X (from the target) at which the missile explodes. The distance X is measured in miles and the sampling distribution of X is given by:

X 0 10 50 100

Calculate the variance of this sampling distribution.
a) 906.3
b) 302.1
c) 85.0
d) 30.1
e) 4766.7
f) None of the above
