Detailed Solution

Let x1,x2,,x20 be 20 observations. Then,

           uncorrected xi=20×10=200 and 120xi2(10)2=4

 uncorrected xi2=2080

    Corrected xi=2009+11=202

     Corrected xi2=208092+112=2120

  Correct variance =120 Corrected xi Corrected xi202

                                  =212020202202=106102.01=3.99
