Question

The standard deviation of data Then the standard deviation of data is

A.

3 σ

B.

σ

C.

3σ + 2

D.

9 σ

Correct option is A

Given:
· Original standard deviation = σ.

Formula: If data is scaled by a factor k, the new standard deviation is k × σ.

Solution: The data is scaled by 3 and shifted by 2.

Shifting does not affect the standard deviation, so

the new standard deviation is: 3 × σ = 3σ
Final Answer: (a) 3σ
