For a frequency distribution standard deviation is computed by applying the formula

  • A
    $\sigma = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{{\sum \,fd}}{{\sum \,f}}} \right) - \frac{{\sum \,f{d^2}}}{{\sum \,f}}} $
  • B
    $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum \,f{d^2}}}{{\sum \,f}} - {{\left( {\frac{{\sum \,f{d^2}}}{{\sum \,f}}} \right)}^2}} $
  • C
    $\sigma = \sqrt {{{\left( {\frac{{\sum \,fd}}{{\sum \,f}}} \right)}^2} - \frac{{\sum \,f{d^2}}}{{\sum \,f}}} $
  • D
    $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum \,f{d^2}}}{{\sum \,f}} - {{\left( {\frac{{\sum \,fd}}{{\sum \,f}}} \right)}^2}} $
