Note that the formula of variance for calculation purpose is
1 n i = 1 n x i 2 ( 1 n i = 1 n x i ) 2
where n is the total number of values in the given data set.
In your given data we have n=5 and the values of x i s are {1,2,3,4,5}.
So, your variance
= 1 5 [ 1 2 + 2 2 + 3 2 + 4 2 + 5 2 ] ( 1 5 [ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ] ) 2
=11-9
=6
