A student measuring the diameter of a pencil of circular cross-section with the help of a vernier scale records the following four readings $5.50\, mm , 5.55\, mm ,$$ 5.45\, mm ; 5.65\, mm .$ The average of these four readings is $5.5375\, mm$ and the standard deviation of the data is $0.07395\, mm .$ The average diameter of the pencil should therefore be recorded as
  • A$(5.5375 \pm 0.0739)\, mm$
  • B$(5.538 \pm 0.074)\, mm$
  • C$(5.54 \pm 0.07)\, mm$
  • D$(5.5375 \pm 0.0740)\, mm$
