Question

Both sets of values have an average of 13. Is set As standard deviation smaller, larger, or about the same as set abs?

set A: 1 2 3 23 24 25

set B: 8 10 12 14 16 18

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that both the Sets has an average of 13.

Set A:

1,2,3,23,24,25

Here, the average of set A is 13.

The standard deviation of set A is,

X (x-xbar) (x-xbar)^2
1 (1-13)=-12 144
2 (2-13)=-11 121
3 (3-13)=-10 100
23 (23-13)=10 100
24 (24-13)=11 121
25 (25-13)=12 144
  Total 730

The standard deviation for set A is,
