The probability distribution of the random variable \(X\) is shown in the following table.

\(x\)-2-10123
\(P(X = x)\)0.08\(p\)0.120.16\(q\)0.22

The mean of \(X\) is 1.05.

  1. Write down two equations involving \(p\) and \(q\) and hence find the values of \(p\) and \(q\).
  2. Find the variance of \(X\).
