The mean and the standard deviation \((s.d.)\) of five observations are \(9\) and \(0,\) respectively. If one of the observations is changed such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes \(10,\) then their \(s.d.\) is?
- A \(0\)
- B \(4\)
- C \(2\)
- D \(1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Here mean \( = \bar x = 9\) \( \Rightarrow \bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} = 9\) \( \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i}} = 9 \times 5 = 45\) Now, standard deviation \(=0\) \(\therefore \) all the five terms are same i.e.;\(9\). Now for changed observation…
