If the standard deviation of the numbers −1,0,1,k- 1,0, 1, k is 5\sqrt{5} where k>0,k > 0, then kk is equal to

Options

  1. A6\sqrt{6}
  2. B4534\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{3}}
  3. C21032\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{3}}
  4. D262\sqrt{6}

Correct answer

D. 262\sqrt{6}

Step-by-step solution

S.D.=∑xi2n−(∑xin)2=5S . D . = \sqrt{\dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{n} - {\left(\dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}}{n}\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{5}

⇒∑xi2n−(∑xin)2=5⇒ \dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}^{2}}{n} - {\left(\dfrac{∑ {x}_{i}}{n}\right)}^{2} = 5

⇒1+1+0+k24−(−1+0+1+k4)2=5⇒ \dfrac{1 + 1 + 0 + {k}^{2}}{4} - {\left(\dfrac{- 1 + 0 + 1 + k}{4}\right)}^{2} = 5

⇒2+k24−k216=5⇒ \dfrac{2 + {k}^{2}}{4} - \dfrac{{k}^{2}}{16} = 5

⇒8+4k2−k216=5⇒ \dfrac{8 + 4{k}^{2} - {k}^{2}}{16} = 5

⇒8+3k2=80⇒ 8 + 3{k}^{2} = 80

⇒3k2=72⇒ 3{k}^{2} = 72

⇒k2=24{⇒ k}^{2} = 24

⇒k=±26⇒ k = \pm 2\sqrt{6}

Since, k>0k > 0

⇒k=26.⇒ k = 2\sqrt{6} .
