question 12 of 25\nthe standard deviations of four data sets are shown in the table below. which of the data sets is the most spread out?\n|data set|standard deviation|\n|--|--|\n|data set a|5.21|\n|data set b|4.88|\n|data set c|6.06|\n|data set d|3.39|\na. data set c\nb. data set a\nc. data set b\nd. data set d
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall standard - deviation concept
Standard deviation measures data spread. Larger value means more spread.
Step2: Compare values
We have 5.21 (Data set A), 4.88 (Data set B), 6.06 (Data set C), 3.39 (Data set D). Since 6.06 > 5.21 > 4.88 > 3.39, Data set C has the largest standard - deviation.
Answer:
A. Data set C
