A Simple random sample consists of four observation 1, 3, 5, 7. The point estimate of population standard deviation is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Mean =1+3+5+74=4= \frac{1+3+5+7}{4} = 4. Sum of squared deviations =9+1+1+9=20= 9 + 1 + 1 + 9 = 20. Sample sd =20n−1=203=6.67≈2.58= \sqrt{\frac{20}{n-1}} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{3}} = \sqrt{6.67} \approx 2.58.
