For a frequency distribution,the standard deviation is computed by:

  • A
    $\sigma = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})}{\sum f}$
  • B
    $\sigma = \frac{\sqrt{\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2}}{\sum f}$
  • C
    $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})^2}{\sum f}}$
  • D
    $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f(x - \bar{x})}{\sum f}}$

Let $x_1, x_2, x_3, \dots, x_n$ be $n$ observations,$\bar{x}$ be their arithmetic mean,and $\sigma^2$ be their variance.
Statement $-1$: The variance of observations $2x_1, 2x_2, 2x_3, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\sigma^2$.
Statement $-2$: The arithmetic mean of $2x_1, 2x_2, 2x_3, \dots, 2x_n$ is $4\bar{x}$.

Statement $1$: The variance of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is $\frac{n^2 - 1}{3}$.
Statement $2$: The sum of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is $n^2$ and the sum of the squares of the first $n$ odd natural numbers is $\frac{n(4n^2 - 1)}{3}$.
