21. Consider the ages of kids in the two groups:
(a) the ages of kids on a playground: 2, 1, 12, 6, 10
(b) the ages of kids in a preschool: 3, 4, 3, 3, 4
Comparing the spread in the ages of kids in groups (a) and (b), the ages of kids in group __________have a smaller spread (values are closer to each other), compared to the ages of kids in group ________
20. The _________of a distribution refers to how similar or varied the values in the distribution are to each other
22. The _____________ ________for a set of data describes the typical (or an average) distance between an observation and the mean, and it is used to measure the spread in the data
23. The sample standard deviation is the ____________________of variance
23. ______________is the distance between a single observation and the mean.
24. Complete the following table:
