    Standard deviation of the first\[2n+1\]natural numbers is equal to:

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}\]         

    B)         \[\sqrt{\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{n(n+1)}{3}}\]         

    D)         \[\sqrt{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}\]

    E)  \[2n+1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The given series is \[1,\text{ }2,\text{ }3,\text{ }...,\text{ }(2n+1)\] \[\overline{x}=\frac{1+2+3+....+(2n+1)}{2n+1}\] \[=(n+1)\] \[\therefore \]\[{{\sigma }^{2}}=\frac{1}{2n+1}\sum\limits_{r=0}^{2n}{{{\{(1+r)-(1+n)\}}^{2}}}\]                                     \[\left[ \because {{\sigma }^{2}}=\frac{1}{n}\sum{{{({{x}_{i}}-\overline{x})}^{2}}} \right]\] \[=\frac{2}{2n+1}({{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+....+{{n}^{2}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\sigma }^{2}}=\frac{n(n+1)}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{n(n+1)}{3}}\]
