The standard deviation of the number of tails in three tosses of a coin is :

  1. A \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \) \( \sigma = \sqrt{3 \times \frac{1}{2} \times (1-\frac{1}{2})} = \sqrt{3 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}} \) \( \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \)
