C
√10
D
√11
correct option: c
x = (\frac{\sum x}{N}) = (\frac{0}{11})
= 0
(\begin{array}{c|c} x & (x - x) & (x - x)^2\ \hline -5 & -5 & 25 \ -4 & -4 & 16-3 & -3 & 9\ -2 & -2 & 4\ -1 & -1 & 1\ 0 & 0 & 0 \1 & 1 & 1\ 2 & 2 & 4 \ 3 & 3 & 9 \ 4 & 4 & 16\ 5 & 5 & 25 \ \hline & & 110\end{array})
S.D = (\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - x)^2}{\sum f}})
= (\sqrt{\frac{110}{11}})
= (\sqrt{10})
