Interpreting Standard Deviation

The standard deviation for 4 data sets are shown.  Which has all of the data points the same as the mean?
A          4.3
 B           2.7
C             0
D            6

• A
• B
• C
• D

All of the below sets have the same mean.
Set 1-Standard Deviation=3.1
Set 2-Standard Deviation=4.9
Set 3-Standard Deviation=1.7
Set 4-Standard Deviation=3.2
Which set of data probably has the points closest to the mean?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Which of the following is a measure of variability?

• mean
• median
• mode
• standard deviation

What is the standard deviation for the data given:
5, 10, 7, 12, 0, 20, 15, 22, 8, 2

• 6.89
• 10.1

If a number is added to a set that is far away from the mean, how does this affect standard deviation?

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same
• both increase and decrease

If a number is added to the set that is in the middle of the data, how does this affect the range?

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same
• both increase and decrease
