are ' 
' observations and 
is their mean. If 
is almost zero, then a true statement among the following is
A
It indicates a higher degree of dispersion of the observations from the mean 
B
It indicates that there is no dispersion
C
is the arithmetic mean of the data D
It indicates that each observation 
is very close to the mean 
and hence degree of dispersion is low.
is very close to the mean and hence degree of dispersion is low.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Since 
is almost zero. So it indicates that each observation 
is very close to the 
. Hence degree of dispersion is low.
