The first of two samples has 100 items with mean 15 and SD = 3. If the whole group has 250 items with mean 15.6 and SD=13.44, the SD of the second group is

a
4
b
5
c
6
d
3.52

detailed solution

Correct option is A

We know ,σ2=n1σ12+d12+n2σ22+d22n1+n2where d1=m1−a,d2=m2−a,a  being the mean of the whole group.∴ 15.6=100×15+150×m2250⇒m2=16 Thus,  13.44=100×9+150×σ2+100×(0.6)2+150×(0.4)2250⇒σ=4
