    The standard deviation for the scores 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 is 2. Then, the standard deviation of 12, 23, 34, 45, 56, 67 and 78 is

    A)  2                            

    B)         4

    C)  22                         

    D)         11

    E)  44

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here,\[n=7,\]sum =315 Now, Mean\[=\frac{315}{7}=45\] \[\therefore \]Standard deviation \[=\sqrt{\frac{\begin{align}   & {{(12-45)}^{2}}+{{(23-45)}^{2}}+{{(34-45)}^{2}} \\  & +{{(45-45)}^{2}}+{{(56-45)}^{2}}+{{(67-45)}^{2}} \\  & +{{(78-45)}^{2}} \\ \end{align}}{7}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{\begin{align}   & {{(33)}^{2}}+{{(22)}^{2}}+{{(11)}^{2}}+0 \\  & +{{(11)}^{2}}+{{(22)}^{2}}+{{(33)}^{2}} \\ \end{align}}{7}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{2(1089+484+121)}{7}}=\sqrt{\frac{3388}{7}}\] \[=\sqrt{484}=22\]
