First, we must find $E(X)$, which is

$$
E(X)=0 \cdot 0.3+1 \cdot 0.5+2 \cdot 0.1+3 \cdot 0.1=1
$$

Now we have

$$
\begin{gathered}
\sigma^{2}(X)=(0-1)^{2} \cdot 0.3+(1-1)^{2} \cdot 0.5+(2-1)^{2} \cdot 0.1+(3-1)^{2} \cdot 0.1 \\
=0.3+0+0.1+0.4=0.8
\end{gathered}
$$

Thus, the variance of $X$ is 0.8 .
