begin array c c class amp 1 - 3 amp 4 - 6 amp 7... - JAMB Mathematics 1995 Question

\(\begin{array}{c|c} class& 1 - 3 & 4 - 6 & 7 - 9\ \hline Frequency & 5 & 8 & 5\end{array}\)
Find the standard deviation of the data using the table above
A
5
B
\(\sqrt{6}\0
C
\(\frac{5}{3}\)
D
\(\sqrt{5}\)
correct option: a
\(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{class intervals} & Fre(F) & \text{class-marks(x)} & Fx & (x - x)& (x - x)^2 & F(x - x)^2 \ \hline 1 - 3 & 5 & 10 & 10 & -3 & 9 & 90\ 4 - 6 & 8 & 40 & 40 & 0 & 0 & 0 \ 7 - 9 & 5 & 40 & 40 & 3 & 9 & 360 \ \hline & 18 & & 90 & & & 450 \end{array}\)

x = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{90}{18}\)

= 5

S.D = \(\frac{\sum f(x - x)^2}{\sum f}\)

= \(\frac{450}{18}\)

= \(\sqrt{25}\)

= 5
