Variance is the standard deviation squared but we're not going to use that now. Let's first calculate the mean:
mean = (17+13+13+22+11+20)/6 = 16.
Now for each value, let's see how far it is from this mean. We'll square these distances and average them. That's our variance.
17 distance 1 squared = 1
13 distance 3 squared = 9
13 distance 3 squared = 9
22 distance 6 squared = 36
11 distance 5 squared = 25
20 distance 4 squared = 16
Now average these outcomes:
variance = (1+9+9+36+25+16)/6 = 16.
So the variance by coincidence is the same as the mean.
Answer C is your answer.
<span>There are 2 pints of blue and 2 pints of yellow in the bucket.
To be 80% yellow, the new color will be (100%-80%=) 20% blue.
2 pints is 20% of (2 pints/0.20=) 10 pints.
With 4 pints in the bucket, to make 10 pints you should add
(10 pints-4 pints=) 6 more pints of yellow paint.
ANSWER: You should add 6 pints of yellow to the 4 pints of green in the bucket to make the new color that is 80% yellow.</span>

It is always difficult to map the English description of a mathematical expression to the intended actual expression. The best descriptions are those of 1, 2, 3, 5. Descriptions 4 and 6 are apparently intentionally misleading or absurd.
It appears the appropriate selections are ...
1, 2, 3, 5
3•1 3/4 is Greater than 1 3/4
