A student measuring the diameter of a pencil of circular cross-section with the help of a vernier scale records the following four readings \(5.50\, mm , 5.55\, mm ,\)\( 5.45\, mm ; 5.65\, mm .\) The average of these four readings is \(5.5375\, mm\) and the standard deviation of the data is \(0.07395\, mm .\) The average diameter of the pencil should therefore be recorded as
- A \((5.5375 \pm 0.0739)\, mm\)
- B \((5.538 \pm 0.074)\, mm\)
- C \((5.54 \pm 0.07)\, mm\)
