A student scores the following marks in five tests: 45, 54, 41, 57, 43. His score is not known for the sixth test. If the mean score is 48 in the six tests, then the standard deviation of the marks in six tests is:
(1) $\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$ (2) $\frac{100}{3}$ (3) $\frac{10}{3}$ (4) $\frac{100}{\sqrt{3}}$
Show Answer
