A data consists of \(n\) observations \({x_1},{x_2},......,{x_n}.\) If \(\sum\limits_{i - 1}^n {{{({x_i} + 1)}^2}}  = 9n\) and \(\sum\limits_{i - 1}^n {{{({x_i} - 1)}^2}}  = 5n,\) then the standard deviation of this data is

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(\sqrt 5\)
  3. C \(\sqrt 7\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({\sum {\left( {{x_i} + 1} \right)} ^2} = 9n\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( 1 \right)\) \({\sum {\left( {{x_i} - 1} \right)} ^2} = 5n\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( 2 \right)\) \(\left( 1 \right) + \left( 2 \right) \Rightarrow \sum {\left( {x_i^2 + 1} \right)} = 7n\)…
