Use the standard deviation to compare the variability of the data sets. Round to the nearest hundredths.

Data Set A: 11, 7, 12, 8, 9, 5

Data Set B: 10, 8, 10, 8, 8, 4

(1 point)

The standard deviation of Data Set A is 2.00. The standard deviation of Data Set B is 2.36. The standard deviation of Data Set B is larger than that of Data Set A, so Data Set B has more variability.

The standard deviation of Data Set A is 2.36. The standard deviation of Data Set B is 2.00. The standard deviation of Data Set A is larger than that of Data Set B, so Data Set A has more variability.

The standard deviation of Data Set A is 2.36. The standard deviation of Data Set B is 2.36. Data Set A and Data Set B have the same standard deviation, so the variability is the same for both data sets.

The standard deviation of Data Set A is 2.36. The standard deviation of Data Set B is 2.00. The standard deviation of Data Set B is larger than that of Data Set A, so Data Set B has more variability.

The standard deviations (rounded to the nearest hundredth) are:
- Data Set A: 2.36
- Data Set B: 2.00

Since 2.36 > 2.00, Data Set A has more variability.
