Transcribed Image Text:Both data sets have a mean of 195. One has a standard deviation of 16, and the other
has a standard deviation of 24.
Click the icon to view data sets.
Which data set has which deviation?
...
O A. (a) has a standard deviation of 24 and (b) has a standard deviation of 16,
because the data in (a) have more variability.
OB. (a) has a standard deviation of 16 and (b) has a standard deviation of 24,
because the data in (b) have less variability.
