A student measuring the diameter of a pencil of circular cross-section with the help of a vernier scale records the following four readings

5.50 mm

,

5.55 mm

,

5.34 mm

,

5.65 mm

. The average of these four reading is

5.5375 mm

and the standard deviation of the data is

0.07395 mm

. The average diameter of the pencil should therefore be recorded as :
