QUICK QUESTION PLEASE HELP: If the standard deviation increases, what else increases? Mode, Mean, Variance or Median?

Answer 1

I would say mean am I right?

Answer 2

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

If the standard deviation increases, would the variance increase?

Answer 3

it would increase I suppose

Answer 4

>>I would say mean am I right?

I do not think so. The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion. The mean is a measure of central tendency.

Answer 5

Ok I thought if the standard deviation was too high it would create extremes and the mean would not be resistant. So I see now the variance would increase if the standard dev increases

Answer 6

I agree.
