just go through this example then u will clearly understand.Step 1. Calculate the mean average, : We have N = 4 because there are four data points: Replacing N with 4 This is the mean. Step 2. Calculate the standard deviation : Replacing N with 4 Replacing with 7 This is the standard deviation.

There is a mathematical formula for calculating standard deviation, but you don't need it for this question. StDev is a measurement of how much variation there is among different numbers in a series. Since choices b and c contain the same number 6 times, there is no variation. choice d also doesn't show much variation. Number 1 does vary from one point to the next, so it has variance, and therefore would have a higher StDev.


ans: choice (a)
