Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard deviation is a measure of dispersion that is based on the deviations of the data points from the mean. It takes into account how much each data point differs from the mean and provides a measure of the spread of the data around the mean. The other options, B) coefficient of variation, C) range, and D) box plots, do not rely solely on deviations from the mean to compute a measure of dispersion.
