MCQ
If the standard deviation of the numbers $ 2,3,a $ and $11$ is $3.5$  then which of the following is true ?
  • A
    $3{a^2} - 34a + 91 = 0$
  • B
    $\;3{a^2} - 23a + 44 = 0$
  • C
    $3{a^2} - 26a + 55 = 0$
  • $\;3{a^2} - 32a + 84 = 0$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\;3{a^2} - 32a + 84 = 0$
d
$\mathrm{SD}=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}{\mathrm{n}}-\left(\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{n}}\right)^{2}}$

$\frac{49}{4}=\frac{4+9+a^{2}+121}{4}-\left(\frac{16+a}{4}\right)^{2}$

$3 a^{2}-32 a+84=0$
