The $S.D.$ of $5$ scores $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ is
A
$\frac{2}{5}$
B
$\frac{3}{5}$
C
$\sqrt 2 $
D
$\sqrt 3 $
Solution
(c) Mean $\bar x = \frac{{1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5}}{5} = 3$
$S.D.$ = $\sigma $ = $\sqrt {\frac{1}{n}\sum {x_i^2 – (\bar x} {)^2}} $
=$\sqrt {\frac{1}{5}(1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25) – 9} $=$\sqrt {11 – 9} = \sqrt 2 $.
