Without actually doing the calculations, decide which, if either, of the following two sets of data will have the greater standard deviation. Explain why. 5,8,9,10,12,16 12,13,13,14,14,15 Choose the correct answer below. A. The standard deviations would be the same since the spread of data about each mean is the same. B. The first set will have the greater standard deviation because the data have a smaller spread about the mean. C. The second set will have the greater standard deviation because the data have a greater spread about the mean. D. The first set will have the greater standard deviation because the data have a greater spread about the mean.
