√6
B
√10
C

D
√\(\frac{5}{2}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
\(\begin{array}& x & x - \bar{x} & (x - \bar{x})^2 \2 & -2 & 4 \ 3 & -1 & 1 \ 5 & 1 & 1 \ 6 & 2 & 4\ \hline \sum x = 16 & & \sum (x - \bar{x}^2) = 0 \end{array}\)
___________________________________
\(\bar{x}\) = \(\frac{\sum x }{N}\)
= \(\frac{16}{4}\)
= 4
S = \(\sqrt{\frac {(x - \bar{x})^2}{N}}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac {(10)}{4}}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac {(5)}{2}}\)
