MCQ
The average marks of $10$ students in a class was $60$ with a standard deviation $4$ , while the average marks of other ten students was $40$ with a standard deviation $6$ . If all the $20$ students are taken together, their standard deviation will be
  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $7.5$
  • C
    $9.8$
  • ✓
    $11.2$
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
$11.2$
d
$\mathrm{n}_{1}=10, \mathrm{n}_{2}=10$

average $\mathrm{m}_{1}=60, \mathrm{m}_{2}=40$

$\sigma_{1}=4, \sigma_{2}=6$

Standard deviation of combined series

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{n_{1} \sigma_{1}^{2}+n_{2} \sigma_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+\frac{n_{1} n_{2}\left(m_{1}-m_{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(n_{1}+n_{2}\right)^{2}}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{10 \times 16+10 \times 36}{10+10}+\frac{10 \times 10(60-40)^{2}}{(10+10)^{2}}}$

$=\sqrt{8+18+100}=\sqrt{126}=11.2$
