The r = f /sum(f) represents the Relative Frequencies of the values of the variable: 5/30 8/30 6/30 7/30 and 4/30

This represents Squares of Deviations times frequencies
5* (0 -1.9)^2 8* ( 1 - 1.9)^2 6 * ( 2 - 1.9)^2 7 * (3 - 1.9)^2 4* (4-1.9)^2
> ss ss

This is the SUM OF SQUARES OF DEVIATIONS
By definition the variance is the sum of squares of deviations divided by the (sample size - 1)
