Question

river is researching the study habits of 10 physics students and finds that the standard deviation related to time spent studying is quite small. what does this mean in plain language? some of the physics students study for brief periods while others study for long periods. most of the students river interviewed study for about the same length of time. some of the physics students revealed how much time they spend studying while others did not. most of the students river interviewed didnt mind studying, but some strongly disliked it.

Explanation:

Standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data. A small standard - deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean (average value) of the set. In the context of study time, it means students' study times are close to each other.

Answer:

Most of the students River interviewed study for about the same length of time.
