If x₁, x₂, x_n are ' n ' observations and x is their mean. If _ i=1 ^n (x₁- x )^2 is almost zero, then a true statement among the following is
Options
- AIt indicates a higher degree of dispersion of the observations from the mean x
- BIt indicates that there is no dispersion
- C_ i =1 ^ m ( x _ i - x )^2 is the arithmetic mean of the data
- DIt indicates that each observation x_i is very close to the mean x and hence degree of dispersion is low.
Correct answer
D. It indicates that each observation x_i is very close to the mean x and hence degree of dispersion is low.
Step-by-step solution
Since _ i =1 ^ n ( x _ i - x )^2 is almost zero. So it indicates that each observation x_ i is very close to the x . Hence degree of dispersion is low.
