If sum(i=1)^(9)(x(i)-5)=9andsum(i=1)^(9)...

If `sum_(i=1)^(9)(x_(i)-5)=9andsum_(i=1)^(9)(x_(i)-5)^(2)=45`, then the standard deviation of the 9 items `x_(1),x_(2),......,x_(9)` is

A

3

B

9

C

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let `x_(i)-5=y_(i)`
`therefore underset(i=1)overset(9)(sum y_(i)=9) " and" underset(i=1)overset(9)(sum y_(i)^(2))=45`
So, required standard deviation is
`sigma=sqrt((underset(i=1)overset(9)(sum y_(i)^(2)))/(9)-((underset(i=1)overset(9)(sum y_(i)))/(9))^(2))=sqrt((45)/(9)-((9)/(9))^(2))=2`
