Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

When we observe at pairs of dotplots, the one with the higher standard deviation will display data that are more spread out from its mean.

In Option (C) we can see that the dotplot on the right has a mean at 3.5 with the rest of the data spread equally on the right and on the left. The corresponding dotplot on the left in option (C) also has symmetry with data spread out equally on the right and on the left. However, the dotplot on the left has most of the data near the center, where the dotplot on the right has most of the data far from the center. More data that are far from the center means that there are more, larger deviations from the mean.
