In a series of $2n$ observation, half of them are equal to $'a'$ and remaining half observations are equal to $' -a'$. If the standard deviation of this observations is $2$ then $\left| a \right|$ equals

A

$2$

B

$\sqrt 2 $

C

$4$

D

$2\sqrt 2 $

Solution

Clerly mean $A=0$

Now, standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {x – A} \right)}^2}} }}{{2n}}} $

$2 = \sqrt {\frac{{{{\left( {a – 0} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {a – 0} \right)}^2} + … + {{\left( {0 – a} \right)}^2} + …}}{{2n}}} $

$ = \sqrt {\frac{{{a^2}.2n}}{{2n}}} = \left| a \right|$

Hence, $\left| a \right| = 2$
