Consider the following sample data.

Sample A: 3, 7, 11  
Sample B: 74, 78, 82  
Sample C: 1,065, 1,069, 1,073  

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for each sample.

|            | Sample A | Sample B | Sample C |
|------------|----------|----------|----------|
| **Mean**             |          |          |          |
| **Sample Standard Deviation** |          |          |          |

(b) What does this exercise show about the standard deviation?

- ○ The idea is to illustrate that the standard deviation is not a function of the value of the mean.
- ○ The idea is to illustrate that the standard deviation is a function of the value of the mean.

(Note: The data may imply an investigation into whether the standard deviation changes independently or proportionally with changes in the mean across different scales of data values.)
