    Option A - 4.91

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for theoretical standard deviation of uniform distribution is;

    σ = √{ (b-a) ^2}/12

    Now from the question, b = 38 minutes and a = 21 minutes

    Therefore, σ = √{ (38-21) ^2}/12

    = √{17^2}/12 = √289/12 = 4.907 which is approximately 4.91
