Let the function

Question:

Let $x_{i}(1 \leq i \leq 10)$ be ten observations of a random

variable $X .$ If $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-p\right)=3$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-p\right)^{2}=9$

where $0 \neq \mathrm{p} \in \mathrm{R}$, then the standard deviation of these observations is:

  1. $\sqrt{\frac{3}{5}}$

  2. $\frac{7}{10}$

  3. $\frac{9}{10}$

  4. $\frac{4}{5}$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

Variance $=\frac{\Sigma\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{p}\right)^{2}}{\mathrm{n}}-\left(\frac{\Sigma\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{p}\right)}{\mathrm{n}}\right)^{2}$

$=\frac{9}{10}-\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{100}$

S.D. $=\frac{9}{10}$
