Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Hint: prepare a three-columned table, one for (x), another for the (deviation), and the last for the (squared-deviation).

Sum of (x) = 15x, algebraic sum of (deviation) = zero (0)
Sum of (squared-deviation) = 10x2

Variance = ∑(squared-deviation)/n = 10x2/5 = 2x2
