What does the standard deviation tell you about the variability in a data set
A) When variability is high, the standard deviation is small.
B) The standard deviation does not reflect the variability in the data set.
C) A large standard deviation means that there is a great degree of variability in the data set.
D) As variability increases in a data set, the standard deviation becomes more variable as well.
Standard Deviation
A statistical measure that indicates the dispersion or variability of a set of data points in relation to their mean.
Variability
The extent to which data points in a data set or distribution differ from each other and from the central value (mean or median).
