Standard Deviation Practice

Four data sets are shown below.
Set 1: {10, 19, 38, 50, 51}
Set 2: {5, 21, 26, 39, 51}
Set 3: {9, 38, 50, 50, 51}
Set 4: {5, 28, 28, 28, 51}
Which data set has the largest standard deviation?

• Set 1
• Set 2
• Set 3
• Set 4

What does variance represent?

• How many different variations are in the data set.

• How the population varies compared to the sample.

• How spread out each data value is from the mean.

• The range, but with a bunch of other stuff going on.

How do you calculate the standard deviation?

• Divide the variance by 2.

• Its a long process and I can't explain it right now.

• Find the mean and multiply it by the variance.

• Take the square root of the variance.

What does this symbol represent?

• Standard Deviation
