\sum{f_i} = N

= 30

 

\sum f_ix_i

= 3210

   

\sum f_i(x_i - \overline{x})^2

=68280

 

\overline{x} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f_ix_i = \frac{3210}{30} = 107

We know, Variance, \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \overline{x})^2

\implies \sigma^2 = \frac{68280}{30} = 2276

Hence, Mean = 107 and Variance = 2276
