Geoffrey is looking at two datasets, each of which has the same mean. How can he determine which of the two datasets has less variability?(1 point)

Responses

The datasets have the same variability because their means are the same.
The datasets have the same variability because their means are the same.

The dataset with more pieces of data will have less variability.
The dataset with more pieces of data will have less variability.

The dataset with less variability has a smaller deviation.
The dataset with less variability has a smaller deviation.

The dataset with less variability has a greater deviation.

1 answer

The correct response is:

The dataset with less variability has a smaller deviation.

This is because variability is typically measured using the standard deviation or variance, and a smaller deviation indicates less variability in the dataset.
