Ex 13.2, 2 Find the mean and variance for the first n natural numbers First n natural numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, ā¦ā¦ n Mean = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ā¦ā¦. + n)/n = (n(n + 1)/2)/š = (š§ + š)/š Variance (Ļ2) = (āā(š„_š ā š„ Ģ )^2 )/n As the data is very large hence, "(xi ā " š„ Ģ ")" 2 calculation is difficult. Hence, we can use the formula : ā“ Variance (Ļ)2 = (š(n + 1)(2n + 1))/6šā (n + 1)2/4 = ((n + 1)(2n + 1))/6ā (n + 1)2/4 = ((š + 1))/2 ((2n + 1)/3 " ā " (š + 1)/2) = ((š + 1))/2 ((4n + 2 ā 3š ā 3)/6) = (š + 1)/2 Ć (š ā 1)/6 = (š§^š ā š)/šš
