Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Mean x = \(\frac{\sum x}{n}\)

\( = \frac{5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1}{5}\)

\( = \frac{15}{5}\)

= 3

\(\begin{array}{c|c}
x & d = x - 3 & d^2 \\
\hline
5 & 2 & 4 \\
4 & 1 & 1 \\
3 & 0 & 0 \\
2 & -1 & 1 \\
1 & -2 & 4 \\
\hline
& & \sum d^2 + 10
\end{array}\)

Hence, standard deviation;

\( = \sqrt{\frac{\sum d^2}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{10}{5}}\)


\( = \sqrt{2}\)
