In a series of $2n$ observations,half of them are equal to $a$ and the remaining half are equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of the observations is $2$,then $|a|$ equals:

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{n}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{n}$

The mean and standard deviation of some data for the time taken to complete a test are calculated with the following results:
Number of observations $= 25$,mean $= 18.2 \text{ seconds}$,standard deviation $= 3.25 \text{ s}$.
Further,another set of $15$ observations $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{15}$,also in seconds,is now available and we have $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i} = 279$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_{i}^{2} = 5524$. Calculate the standard deviation based on all $40$ observations.
