The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We know that $D = \frac{5}{6} \times M.D. $
$= \frac{5}{6} \times 12 = 10 $
$\therefore \, S.D = \frac{3}{2} \times D$
$ = \frac{3}{2} \times 10$
$ \Rightarrow \, S.D. = 15$

Concepts Used:

Mean Deviation

A statistical measure that is used to calculate the average deviation from the mean value of the given data set is called the mean deviation.

The Formula for Mean Deviation:

The mean deviation for the given data set is calculated as:

Mean Deviation = [Σ |X – µ|]/N

Where, 

  • Σ represents the addition of values
  • X represents each value in the data set
  • µ represents the mean of the data set
  • N represents the number of data values

Grouping of data is very much possible in two ways:

  1. Discrete Frequency Distribution
  2. Continuous Frequency Distribution
