So I think I know how to get the variance for these, first we need to find $E(X)$ right? So $E(X)$ for $a$ would be:
$$-1 * frac14 + 0 * frac12 + 1 * frac14 = 0$$
So to find the variance, we need $E((x - E(x))^2)$
So is it $(-1 - 0)^2 + (0-0)^2 + (1-0)^2$ which is just $2$?

Remember to multiply by the probabilities! So $mathbbEleft[(X-mathbbE[X])^2right] = (-1-0)^2 colorbluetimesfrac14 + cdots$.

A more explicit formula for a is $Var(X)=sumlimits_x=-1^1 p(x)cdot (x-E(x))^2$
