MCQ
The standard deviation of first 10 natural numbers is:
  • A
    5.5
  • B
    3.87
  • C
    2.97
  • D
    2.97

Answer

  1. 2.87

Solution:

We know that the standard deviation of first n natural number is $\sqrt{\frac{\text{n}^2-1}{12}}.$

$\therefore$ Standard deviation of first 10 natural numbers

$=\sqrt{\frac{10^2-1}{12}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{99}{12}}$

$=\sqrt{8.25}$

$=2.87$

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
