For the frequency distribution :
Variate \(( x )\) \(x _{1}\) \(x _{1}\) \(x _{3} \ldots \ldots x _{15}\)
Frequency \((f)\) \(f _{1}\) \(f _{1}\) \(f _{3} \ldots f _{15}\)
where \(0< x _{1}< x _{2}< x _{3}<\ldots .< x _{15}=10\) and \(\sum \limits_{i=1}^{15} f_{i}>0,\) the standard deviation cannot be 

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(1\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because \sigma^{2} \leq \frac{1}{4}( M - m )^{2}\) Where \(M\) and \(m\) are upper and lower bounds of values of any random variable. \(\therefore \quad \sigma^{2}<\frac{1}{4}(10-0)^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow 0<\sigma<5\) \(\therefore \sigma \neq 6\)
