Emi computes the mean and variance for the population data set 87, 46, 90, 78, and 89. She finds the mean is 78. Her steps for finding the variance are shown below.

sigma squared = StartFraction (87 minus 78) squared + (46 minus 78) squared + (90 minus 78) squared + (78 minus 78) squared + (89 minus 78) squared Over 5 EndFraction. = StartFraction 9 squared minus 32 squared + 12 squared + 0 squared + 11 squared Over 5 EndFraction. = StartFraction 81 minus 1,024 + 144 + 0 + 121 Over 5 EndFraction. = StartFraction negative 678 Over 5 EndFraction. = negative 135.6

What is the first error she made in computing the variance?
Emi failed to find the difference of 89 - 78 correctly.
Emi divided by N - 1 instead of N.
Emi evaluated (46 - 78)2 as -(32)2.
Emi forgot to take the square root of -135.6.
