Mean (\overline{x}) of the given data:

\overline{x} = \frac{1}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{8}x_i = \frac{6+ 7+ 10+ 12+ 13+ 4+ 8+ 12}{8} = \frac{72}{8} = 9

The respective values of the deviations from mean, (x_i - \overline{x}) are

-3, -2, 1 3 4 -5 -1 3

\therefore  \sum_{i=1}^{8}(x_i - 10)^2 = 74

\therefore \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \overline{x})^2

\frac{1}{8}\sum_{i=1}^{8}(x_i - \overline{x})^2= \frac{74}{8} = 9.25

Hence,  Mean = 9 and Variance = 9.25
