    A data consists of n observations: \[{{x}_{1}},\]\[{{x}_{2}},\]?\[{{x}_{n}}.\] If\[\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}{{{({{x}_{i}}+1)}^{2}}}=9n\] and \[\sum\limits_{i=l}^{n}{{{({{x}_{i}}-1)}^{2}}=5n,}\] then the standard deviation of this data is:

    A) 5

    B) \[\sqrt{5}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{7}\]

    D) 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\sum{{{({{x}_{i}}+1)}^{2}}=9n}\] ? (i)
    \[\sum{{{({{x}_{i}}-1)}^{2}}=5n}\] ? (2)
    (1)+(2) \[\Rightarrow \]\[\sum{(x_{i}^{2}+1)=7n}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{\sum{x{}_{i}^{2}}}{n}=6\]
    (1) . (2) \[\Rightarrow \]\[4\sum{{{x}_{i}}=4n}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\sum{{{x}_{i}}=n}\]  
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{\sum{{{x}_{i}}}}{n}=1\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   variance \[=6-1=5\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   standard deviation \[=\sqrt{5}.\]
