The answer is:

 

C. 0.33

Step-by-step explanation

For the given data

 

mean =(3+4+3+4)/ 4= 3.5

 

Create the following table.

 

data data-mean (data - mean)2

3 -0.5 0.25

4 0.5 0.25

4 0.5 0.25

3 -0.5 0.25

 

Find the sum of numbers in the last column to get.

 

∑(xi−X bar )2 =

 

population variance = ∑(xi−X bar )2 / ( n -1 )= 1 / ( 4 -1 )= 0.33
