Step 1:Explanation of solution.

For a given set of results, the standard deviation is the same and equal to 0.

Step 2: Standard Deviation Definitions

We can solve for both quantities by directly applying the mean and standard deviation definitions given by equations (1) and (2) respectively. Here, refers to the outcome of each measurement, and refers to the number of these measurements.

$Q = \frac{\sum_{i} Q_{i} n_{i}}{\sum_{i} n_{i}}$ ………………(1)

role="math" localid="1658322728674" $∆ Q = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i} {(Q_{i} - Q_{i})}^{2} n_{i}}{\sum_{i} n_{i}}}$ ……………………(2)

Step 3: Calculation.

When Q is a constant and can be removed from the equation, the expression is calculated as,

$\begin{array}{rcl} ∆ Q & = & {[\frac{\sum_{i} {(Q_{i} - Q_{i})}^{2} n_{i}}{\sum_{i} n_{i}}]}^{\frac{1}{2}} \\ = & 0 \end{array}$

As a result, the standard deviation for a particular set of outcomes is equal 0.
