Please read the following prompt, analyze the following graph, and complete question 2

As part of a study, a teacher selected three different samples of students, each sample consisted of 33 students. Each student was asked to record the
number of books read in full during a recent holiday break. Below are the histograms showing results for the three samples of students.

Number of books read in full during summer break
Notes:
There were no fractions, only whole number values recorded.
For each class, students responses ranged from 0 books read up to the maximum of 10 books read.
The histogram class intervals were: [0,1), [1,2), ..., [10,11). So the first class interval reflects the students who read 0 books.
You have been asked to provide a one paragraph summary that compares these three sets of responses.
The teacher observes that these three histograms look very different and has these main questions:
1) Which sample will have the larger mean number of books read?
2) Which sample will have the larger standard deviation of the number of books read?
Provide your summary to address the teacher's questions,
Be sure to include reasoning behind your answers,
but do not compute any actual numerical summaries.
