11/2

because space straight sigma subscript straight x superscript 2 space equals space 4 space and space straight sigma subscript straight y superscript 2 space equals 5
Also comma space straight x with minus on top space equals space 2 space and space straight y with minus on top space equals space 4 space
Now comma space Σx subscript straight i over 5 space equals space 2
rightwards double arrow space straight capital sigma space straight x subscript straight i space equals 10 space semicolon space space Σy subscript straight i space equals space 20
and space straight sigma subscript straight x superscript 2 space equals space open parentheses 1 half Σx subscript 1 superscript 2 close parentheses minus left parenthesis straight x with minus on top space right parenthesis squared space equals space 1 fifth space left parenthesis straight capital sigma space straight y subscript straight i superscript 2 right parenthesis minus 16
rightwards double arrow space Σy subscript straight i superscript 2 space equals space 105
space straight sigma subscript straight x superscript 2 space space equals space 1 over 10 left parenthesis straight capital sigma space straight x subscript straight i superscript 2 space plus space straight capital sigma space straight y subscript straight i superscript 2 right parenthesis space minus open parentheses fraction numerator begin display style straight x with minus on top end style plus begin display style straight y with minus on top end style over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses squared
space equals space 1 over 10 left parenthesis 40 plus 105 right parenthesis minus 9 space equals space fraction numerator 145 minus 90 over denominator 10 end fraction space equals space 55 over 10 space equals space 11 over 2
