1 answer

To determine which dataset has the highest variability, we can compare the standard deviations, as a higher standard deviation indicates greater variability in the dataset.

From the table provided:

  • Dataset 1: Standard Deviation = 1.23
  • Dataset 2: Standard Deviation = 1.42
  • Dataset 3: Standard Deviation = 1.19

Comparing the standard deviations, we see that Dataset 2 has the highest standard deviation of 1.42.

Thus, the answer is:

Dataset 2 has the highest variability.
