Question
The following data values represent a population. What is the variance of the population? \(\mu = 6\). Use the information in the table to help you.

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
x & 1 & 5 & 7 & 11 \\
\hline
(x - \mu)^2 & 25 & 1 & 1 & 25 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

- **A.** 13
- **B.** 11

The table provides values for \(x\) and their squared deviations \((x - \mu)^2\) from the population mean \(\mu = 6\).

To find the variance, sum the squared deviations and divide by the number of values (4 in this case).

\[
\text{Variance} = \frac{25 + 1 + 1 + 25}{4}
\]
