Question

Standard deviations for first 10 natural numbers is:

  1. 5.5
  2. 3.87
  3. 2.97
  4. 2.87

Answer

  1. 2.87

Solution:

We know that SD of first n natural numbers $\sqrt{\frac{\text{n}^2-1}{12}}$

Here, $\text{n}=10$

$\therefore\ \text{SD}=\sqrt{\frac{(10)^2-1}{12}}=\sqrt{\frac{99}{12}} $

$=\sqrt{8.25}=2.87$
