Let X be a random variable with mean value M(X)=m and standard deviation D(X)=sigma. We make n measurements of X: x_1, ..., x_n, and calculate the average x_av of them. What are the mean and standard deviation of x_av?

 
A)M(x_av) = m/n and D(x_av) = sigma/sqrt(n)
B)M(x_av) = m/n and D(x_av) = sigma/n
C)M(x_av) = m and D(x_av) = sigma/sqrt(n)
D)M(x_av) = m and D(x_av) = sigma*sigma/n
