Question:medium

If \( \sum_{i=1}^{9} (x_i - 5) = 9 \) and \( \sum_{i=1}^{9} (x_i - 5)^2 = 45 \), then the standard deviation of the 9 items \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_9 \) is:

Show Hint

Standard deviation measures the "spread" of data. Adding or subtracting a constant to all numbers shifts the whole data set but doesn't change how spread out they are, so the standard deviation stays the same.
