2. Consider two more data sets:
Data Set X: 2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3
Data Set Y: 3, 2, 3, 10, 5, 4
a. Calculate the means for Data Sets X and Y.
b. Draw dotplots of the two data sets - use the same scale for both plots. Draw a vertical line
at the mean and then represent the deviations from the mean as horizontal line segments.
c. Based on your plots in (b), which data set do you think will have the larger standard
deviation? Explain your reasoning.
d. Calculate the standard deviations for Data Sets x and Y. (Round answers to two decimals.)
Do your calculations confirm your answer to (c)?
