The mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were calculated as 40 and 5.1, respectively by a student who took by mistake 50 instead of 40 for one observation, then& the correct standard deviation is
Options
A4
B6
C3
D5
Correct answer
D. 5
Step-by-step solution
Standard deviation (σ)=n1∑i=1nxi2−n21(∑i=1nxi)2 =n1∑i=1nxi2−(x−)2
