Four data sets show daily high temperatures (in °F). Which set has the greatest standard deviation?
Set A:
Set B:
Set C:
Set D:
Set C includes the outlier while the other values cluster near , so values are far from the mean . Its standard deviation is about , greater than the evenly spaced sets A, B, and D.
