if the standard deviation for group x is 14.55 and the standard deviation for group y is 20.99, which group has less variability in its scores? group of answer choices



Answer :

Group X has less variability in its scores, as it has a smaller standard deviation.

In this question we have been given the standard deviation for group x is 14.55 and the standard deviation for group y is 20.99

We need to determine which group has less variability in its scores.

We know that the standard deviation measures the variability within a single sample.

The larger the standard deviation, the more variable the data set is.

The standard deviation tells how far each score lies from the mean. A standard deviation is nothing but the average amount of variability in the dataset.

Here,  14.55 < 20.99

This means, Group X has a smaller standard deviation

Therefore, Group X  has less variability in its scores.
