6 The independent random variables \(X\) and \(Y\) have distributions with the same variance \(\sigma ^ { 2 }\). Random samples of 5 observations of \(X\) and \(n\) observations of \(Y\) are made and the results are summarised by
$$\Sigma x = 5.5 , \quad \Sigma x ^ { 2 } = 15.05 , \quad \Sigma y = 8.0 , \quad \Sigma y ^ { 2 } = 36.4$$
Given that the pooled estimate of \(\sigma ^ { 2 }\) is 3 , find the value of \(n\).
