Although bats are not known for their eyesight, they are able to locate prey (mainly insects) by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening for echoes. A paper gave the following distances (in centimeters) at which a bat first detected a nearby insect.
61 24 52 56 42 34 27 42 68 45 83

detects an insect. (Round your answer to three decimal
places.)
? cm
(b) Compute the sample variance and standard deviation for this
data set. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
