Dwight sits near a bowl of candies in his office. He observed how many candies each person took in a sample of 444 visits. Here
is how many candies each person took: 1, 2, 1, 41,2,1,41, comma, 2, comma, 1, comma, 4 Dwight found the mean was \bar x=2 x ˉ =2x, with, \bar, on top, equals, 2 candies. He thinks the standard deviation is s_x =\sqrt{\dfrac{(1-2)^2+(2-2)^2+(1-2)^2+(4-2)^2}{3}}s x = 3 (1−2) 2 +(2−2) 2 +(1−2) 2 +(4−2) 2 s, start subscript, x, end subscript, equals, square root of, start fraction, left parenthesis, 1, minus, 2, right parenthesis, squared, plus, left parenthesis, 2, minus, 2, right parenthesis, squared, plus, left parenthesis, 1, minus, 2, right parenthesis, squared, plus, left parenthesis, 4, minus, 2, right parenthesis, squared, divided by, 3, end fraction, end square root What is the error in Dwight's standard deviation calculation? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A The order of subtraction is incorrect in each of the deviations. (Choice B) B He is missing a deviation in the numerator. (Choice C) C He should only take the square root of the numerator. (Choice D) D He shouldn't square each deviation in the numerator. (Choice E) E There is no error; his calculation is correct.
