72.89
From this data we have n=19
Mean is equal to:
We summarize all the values and divide them by the total number of samples.
In another hand we have that Standard Variation is equal to
For this case we take the value of each of our samples, we subtract the average and we square it to that value. We do this with each of the data and in the end we divide them by the total population of the sample (n) minus 1.

We have

So there is a hole or an asymptote at x = 3 and x = -1 and we know, that answer B) is wrong.
2. Asymptotes:
We have only one asymptote at x = -1 (and hole at x = 3), thus the correct answer is A)
We have
