Find the standard deviation of 2, 3, 5 and 6

  • √6
  • √10
  • √\(\frac{2}{5}\)
  • √\(\frac{5}{2}\) checkmark

The correct answer is: D

Explanation

\(\begin{array}& x & x - \bar{x} & (x - \bar{x})^2 \\2 & -2 & 4 \\ 3 & -1 & 1 \\ 5 & 1 & 1 \\ 6 & 2 & 4\\ \hline \sum x = 16 & & \sum (x - \bar{x}^2) = 10 \end{array}\)
___________________________________

\(\bar{x}\) = \(\frac{\sum x }{N}\)

= \(\frac{16}{4}\)

= 4

S = \(\sqrt{\frac {(x - \bar{x})^2}{N}}\)

= \(\sqrt{\frac {(10)}{4}}\)

= \(\sqrt{\frac {(5)}{2}}\)

There is an explanation video available .
