(D) Let the observations be $x_i$. There are $30$ items in total.$10$ items have value $\frac{1}{2} - d$,$10$ items have value $\frac{1}{2}$,and $10$ items have value $\frac{1}{2} + d$.The mean $\bar{x} = \frac{10(\frac{1}{2} - d) + 10(\frac{1}{2}) + 10(\frac{1}{2} + d)}{30} = \frac{15}{30} = \frac{1}{2}$.The variance $\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n} \sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2$.$\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{30} [10(\frac{1}{2} - d - \frac{1}{2})^2 + 10(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2})^2 + 10(\frac{1}{2} + d - \frac{1}{2})^2]$.$\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{30} [10(-d)^2 + 10(0)^2 + 10(d)^2] = \frac{20d^2}{30} = \frac{2d^2}{3}$.Given $\sigma^2 = \frac{4}{3}$,we have $\frac{2d^2}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$.$2d^2 = 4 \Rightarrow d^2 = 2$.Therefore,$|d| = \sqrt{2}$.

Size $(x_i)$	$3.5$	$4.5$	$5.5$	$6.5$	$7.5$	$8.5$	$9.5$
Frequency $(f_i)$	$3$	$7$	$22$	$60$	$85$	$32$	$8$

The outcome of each of $30$ items was observed; $10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2} - d$ each,$10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2}$ each,and the remaining $10$ items gave an outcome $\frac{1}{2} + d$ each. If the variance of this outcome data is $\frac{4}{3}$,then $|d|$ equals:
