Question
Find the mean and variance for: First $10$ multiples of $3$

Answer

The First $10$ multiples of $3$ are given by,
$3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30$
We know that Mean, $\overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{n}}$
$\therefore$ $\overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{3+6+9+12+15+18+21+24+27+30}{10}  =  \frac{165}{10} = 16.5$
From the given data, we can form the table:
$x_i$ Deviation from mean $(xi - \overline{\mathbf{X}})$ $(xi - \overline{\mathbf{X}})^2$
$3$ $3 - 16.5 = 13.5$ $182.25$
$6$ $6 - 16.5 = 10.5$ $110.25$
$9$ $9 - 16.5 = 7.5$ $56.25$
$12$ $12 - 16.5 = -4.5$ $20.25$
$15$ $15 - 16.5 = -1.5$ $2.25$
$18$ $18 - 16.5 = 1.5$ $2.25$
$21$ $21 - 16.5 = 4.5$ $20.25$
$24$ $24 - 16.5 = 7.5$ $56.25$
$27$ $27 - 16.5 = 10.5$ $110.25$
$30$ $30 - 16.5 = 13.5$ $182.25$
    $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-\bar{x}\right)^{2}$ = 742.5
We know that Variance, $\sigma^{2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{a}}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^{2}$
$\therefore \sigma^{2}  = (1/10)  \times 742.5 = 74.25$
Mean $= 16.5$ and Variance $= 74.25$
