Given, Mean and variance are 9 and 15.08 respectively

Mean  =8+16+120+80+56+80+6α+12β40+α+β=9
 360+9α+9β=360+6α+12β
 3α3β=0
 α=β........(1)
Now variance is given by,
 15.08=16+64+36α+960+800+144α+784+128040+2α92
 96.08=3904+180α40+2α
 (40+2α)(96.08)=3904+180α
 384.3+(192.16)α=3904+180α
 (12.16)α=60.80
 α=5=β
Hence,  α2+β2+αβ=25+25+25=75
