Find the standard derivation of the following data -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A
2
B
3
C
\(\sqrt{10}\)
D
\(\sqrt{11}\)
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
x = \(\frac{\sum x}{N}\)
= \(\frac{0}{11}\)
= 0
\(\begin{array}{c|c} x & (x - x) & (x - x)^2 \\\hline -5 & -5 & 25 \\ -4 & -4 & 16 \\-3 & -3 & 9 \\ -2 & -2 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0\\ 1 & 1 & 1\\ 2 & 2 & 4\\ 3 & 3 & 9\\ 4 & 4 & 16 \\5 & 5 & 25\\ \hline & & 110\end{array}\)
S.D = \(\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - x)^2}{\sum f}}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac{110}{11}}\)
= \(\sqrt{10}\)
