Question

Choose the correct statement
1- Standard deviation takes all data values into consideration
2- Standard deviation is a excellent measure of central tendency
3- The smaller the standard deviation, the more spread in the data
4- If standard deviation is small, the data is less consistent

Answer 1

the answer is (a) I think

Answer 2

1- all data values are taken in consideration for calculating the standard deviation

Explanation:

• The standard deviation is calculated by squaring the variance.
• It measures the dispersion of an observation from its mean.
• Higher deviation means more spread out data.
• It takes the observations of the data given.
• Greater standard deviation means less consistency.
• Therefore, option 1. is correct.
