Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
\(x\) \(x - \bar{x}\) \((x - \bar{x})^{2}\)

26.00

-6 36
39.00 7 49
33.00 1 1
25.00 -7 49
37.00 5 25
    \(\sum (x - \bar{x})^{2}\)=160

\(S.D = \sqrt{\frac{(x - \bar{x})^{2}}{n}}\)

\(S.D = \sqrt{\frac{160}{5}} = \sqrt{32}\)

= \(GH¢ 5.656 \approxeq GH¢ 5.66\)
