Based on the dispersion of the data in the attached diagram, we can say that a. The standard deviation of data set A is greater than the standard deviation of data set B.

Standard deviation:

  • Is used to check how far apart the data in a set are
  • Is calculated by square rooting the variance

When the standard deviation is high, it means that the data in a set are spread apart which is the case with dataset A as we can see that the frequencies are 8, 2, 1, 2, and 8. The 8s and the 2s are quite far apart so the standard deviation here is significant.

In the case of dataset B, the standard deviation is not as much as most of the frequencies are close to each other - 1, 2, 8, 2, 1.

In conclusion, dataset B has a lower standard deviation than dataset A.
