Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x\) denote the number of succeses in 100 Then \(x\) follows binomial distribution with \(n=1008\) \(p=y_{2}, q=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\therefore\) variance of \(x=n p q=100 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=25\)
\(\begin{array}{l}\text { Standard } \\ \text { Deviation }\end{array}=\sqrt{\text { vatiance }}=\sqrt{25}\)
\(=5\)
