for the set of given numbers the avg is 4 and the SD is sqrt (10)

so among the given ans only (A) is close to the SD of 10

I solved it by plugging in choices.

what is the OA?

i thought the answer is B.

if the mean is 4 and you want the closest standard deviation, then you would want two data points closest to the mean with less dispersion....anyone else agree?

Ans could be D. or E. :(

both results in SD of (7)^0.5 which is most near to earlier (8.0)^0.5

I think, I missed something but I'm not aware of it. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Naresh
