B)population variance divided by the size of the population minus one
C)square root of the population variance
D)population variance squared

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The population standard deviation is the square root of the population variance, which measures the variability of a population. Option A and B are incorrect because they are calculating the sample standard deviation, which involves dividing the sample variance by n-1 or n respectively. Option D is incorrect because it involves squaring the variance and therefore does not give the standard deviation.
