Let y be a discrete random variable, taking values \(y_1, y_2, y_3, ..., y_n\) with probabilities \(p_1, p_2, p_3, ..., p_n\) respectively. Then the standard deviation of y is given by:

  1. A \(E(y^2) - [E(y)]^2\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{E(y^2) - [E(y)]^2}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{E(y)^2+[E(y)]^2}\)
  4. D \(E(y^2) + [E(y)]^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer
