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