so is it A or B?

OpenStudy (b77w):

I am not done explaining but look at my first response:)

OpenStudy (b77w):

Then calculate the difference from the mean for each point

OpenStudy (b77w):

(3^2+4^2+3^2+1^2+3^2+1^2)/7=9.33333 This is the variance

OpenStudy (b77w):

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance so (sqrt)9.33333=3.055
