a. Obtain the sample standard deviation of these data. S= (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Do you think that, in this case, the sample standard deviation provides a good measure of variation? Explain your answer. OA. The sample standard deviation does not provide a good measure of variation, because it is not resistant to outliers. Therefore, its value is strongly affected by a few extreme observations. OB. The sample standard deviation provides a good measure of variation, because it is preferable to the range and interquartile range for standard data sets. OC. The sample standard deviation provides a good measure of variation, because the sample size is greater than 10 and is roughly symmetric. OD. The sample standard deviation does not provide a good measure of variation. For sample sizes smaller than 20 that are roughly symmetric, the range provides a better measure of variation. an example Clear all Check answer The table below shows the frequency of cremation burials found in 17 archaeological sites.
