The variable X takes two values x1 and x2 with frequencies f1 and f2 respectively. If σ denotes the standard deviation of X, then σ2=
f12x12+f22x22f1+f2−f1x1+f2x2f1+f22
f1f2f1+f22x1−x22
f1f2f1−f22x1−x22
none of these
We have,
σ2=f1x12+f2x22f1+f2−f1x1+f2x2f1+f22
⇒σ2=1f1+f22f12x12+f22x22+f1f2x12+x22−f12x12−f22x22−2f1f2x1x2⇒σ2=f1f2f1+f22x1−x22
