If the standard deviation of the first n natural numbers is t then $$12t^{2} + 1 =$$
The standard deviation of n natural numbers = t
Therefore, but we know that
First n natural numbers are 1,2,3,…,n.
Mean=(1+2+3+…+n)÷n
=[n(n+1)/2]/n
(n+1)/2 …(i)
And, 1²+2²+3²+…+n²=n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
Or, (1²+2²+3²+…+n²)/n= {(n+1)(2n+1)/6} …(ii)
Variance of first n natural numbers $$\sqrt{t}$$ = {(1²+2²+3²+…+n²)/n} - (Mean)²
= {(n+1)(2n+1)/6}-{(n+1)²/4}
= (n+1)/12{4n+2-3(n+1)}
= (n+1)(n-1)/12
$$\sqrt{t}$$ = (n²-1)/12
and we have the equation given
$$12t^{2} + 1 =$$
t^2 = -1\12 put the of t we get
