question 12 of 25
the standard deviations of four data sets are shown in the table below. which of the data sets is the most spread out?

data set	standard deviation
data set b	4.88
data set c	6.06
data set d	3.39

a. data set c
b. data set a
c. data set b
d. data set d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall standard - deviation concept

Standard deviation measures data spread. Larger value means more spread.

Step2: Compare values

We have 5.21 (Data set A), 4.88 (Data set B), 6.06 (Data set C), 3.39 (Data set D).
Since 6.06 > 5.21 > 4.88 > 3.39, Data set C has the largest standard - deviation.

Answer:

A. Data set C
