Answer to Problem 19PT2

The standard deviation of the provided boxes is 3.02.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Standard deviation of three boxes are 0.3, 0.1 and 3 pounds respectively.

Calculation:

The variance of three boxes could be calculated as:

  Var(Three boxes)=(0.3)2+(0.1)2+(3)2=9.1

Now, the standard deviation could be calculated as follows:

  Standard deviation = 9.1=3.02

Thus, the standard deviation of three boxes is 3.02.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
