Assume \(m = (\frac{1}{3})(x + y + z)\), which is the average of \(x, y,\) and \(z.\)
\(x – m = x – (\frac{1}{3})(x + y + z) = (\frac{1}{3})(3x – x – y - z) = (\frac{1}{3})(2x – y - z) = (\frac{1}{3})(x – y - (z - x)) = (\frac{1}{3})(a - c).\)
We have \(y – m = (\frac{1}{3})(b - a)\) and \(z – m = (\frac{1}{3})(c - b)\) similarly.
Then, we have a + b + c = (x - y) + (y - z) + (z - x) = 0.
\(s^2 = (\frac{1}{3})[(x - m)^2 + (y - m)^2 + (z - m)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})[(a - c)^2 + (b - a)^2 + (c - b)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[(a - c)^2 + (b - a)^2 + (c - b)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[(a – c)(a – c) + (b – a)(b -a ) + (c – b)(c – b)]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})(a^2 – 2ac + c^2 + b^2 – 2ab + a^2 + c^2 – 2bc + b^2)\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[2(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) - 2(ab + bc + ca)]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[3(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) - (a + b + c)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[3(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)],\) since \(a + b + c = 0\)
\(= (\frac{1}{9})(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)\)
Therefore, E is the answer.
Answer: E
Assume \(m = (\frac{1}{3})(x + y + z)\), which is the average of \(x, y,\) and \(z.\)
\(x – m = x – (\frac{1}{3})(x + y + z) = (\frac{1}{3})(3x – x – y - z) = (\frac{1}{3})(2x – y - z) = (\frac{1}{3})(x – y - (z - x)) = (\frac{1}{3})(a - c).\)
We have \(y – m = (\frac{1}{3})(b - a)\) and \(z – m = (\frac{1}{3})(c - b)\) similarly.
Then, we have a + b + c = (x - y) + (y - z) + (z - x) = 0.
\(s^2 = (\frac{1}{3})[(x - m)^2 + (y - m)^2 + (z - m)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{3})[(a - c)^2 + (b - a)^2 + (c - b)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[(a - c)^2 + (b - a)^2 + (c - b)^2]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[(a – c)(a – c) + (b – a)(b -a ) + (c – b)(c – b)]\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})(a^2 – 2ac + c^2 + b^2 – 2ab + a^2 + c^2 – 2bc + b^2)\)
\(= (\frac{1}{27})[2(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) - 2(ab + bc + ca)]\)

\(= (\frac{1}{9})(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)\)
Therefore, E is the answer.
