The correct answer is: 25

Given, the data x, y, 10, 12, 4, 6, 8, 12.

So,

Mean=x+y+10+12+4+6+8+128

9=x+y+528

x+y+52=72

x+y=20

And,

Variance=xi2n-xin2

9.25=x2+y2+100+144+16+36+64+1448-92

x2+y2=218

x+y2-2xy=218

202-2xy=218

2xy=182

xy=91

Now solving x+y=20 & xy=91 we get,

x=13, y=73x-2y=25
