OpenStudy (turingtest):

do you know what the terms standard deviation mean median mode mean?

OpenStudy (theislander):

I know what they mean. I believe the answer is standard deviation, i just am not 100% sure.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you are right. Standard deviation is basically how far away data points are from the mean on average. If a lot of points are far from the mean, the peak of the normal curve spreads out.
