(C) Given $n = 10$,incorrect mean $\bar{x} = 15$,and incorrect variance $\sigma^2 = 15$.Incorrect sum of observations: $\sum x_i = n 	imes \bar{x} = 10 	imes 15 = 150$.Correct sum of observations: $\sum x_{i, 	ext{correct}} = 150 - 25 + 15 = 140$.Correct mean: $\bar{x}_{	ext{correct}} = \frac{140}{10} = 14$.Using the variance formula $\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - (\bar{x})^2$,we have $15 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{10} - 15^2$.$\frac{\sum x_i^2}{10} = 15 + 225 = 240 \implies \sum x_i^2 = 2400$.Correct sum of squares: $\sum x_{i, 	ext{correct}}^2 = 2400 - 25^2 + 15^2 = 2400 - 625 + 225 = 2000$.Correct variance: $\sigma_{	ext{correct}}^2 = \frac{\sum x_{i, 	ext{correct}}^2}{n} - (\bar{x}_{	ext{correct}})^2 = \frac{2000}{10} - 14^2 = 200 - 196 = 4$.Correct standard deviation: $\sigma_{	ext{correct}} = \sqrt{4} = 2$.

$x_i$	$92$	$93$	$97$	$98$	$102$	$104$	$109$
$f_i$	$3$	$2$	$3$	$2$	$6$	$3$	$3$

Class interval	$0-5$	$5-10$	$10-15$	$15-20$	$20-25$
Frequency	$4$	$1$	$10$	$3$	$2$

The mean and variance of $10$ observations were calculated as $15$ and $15$ respectively by a student who took by mistake $25$ instead of $15$ for one observation. Then,the correct standard deviation is $.....$
