    $\bar{x} + n$
  • B
    $\bar{x} + n/2$
  • C

The mean and standard deviation of a set of $n_{1}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{1}$ and $s_{1},$ respectively,while the mean and standard deviation of another set of $n_{2}$ observations are $\bar{x}_{2}$ and $s_{2},$ respectively. Show that the standard deviation of the combined set of $(n_{1}+n_{2})$ observations is given by $SD = \sqrt{\frac{n_{1}(s_{1})^{2}+n_{2}(s_{2})^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+\frac{n_{1} n_{2}(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})^{2}}{(n_{1}+n_{2})^{2}}}$.
