question 1
variability is most closely associated with:
de - viation
randomness
averages
probability

Explanation:

Variability measures how data points are spread out. Deviation, like standard - deviation, quantifies the amount by which individual data points differ from a central value (e.g., mean). It is a key concept in understanding variability. Randomness refers to lack of pattern, averages represent central tendency, and probability is about likelihood of events, none as closely related to variability as deviation.

deviation
