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

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