D
\(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\)

Correct Option: C

(x) = (\frac{5 + 6 + 7}{3})

= (\frac{18}{3})

= 6

(\begin{array}{c|c} scores(X) & \text{d = (x - x) deviation} & (deviation)^2\hline 5 & 5 - 6 & 1\ 6 & 6 - 6 & 0 \ 7 & 7 - 6 & 1\ \hline & & 2\end{array})

S.D (\sqrt{\frac{\sum d^2}{n}}) where d = deviation = (x - x)

= (\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}})
