Question 884470: There are two players in a Pakistan cricket team say Afridi and Razzaq. You have to made selection only one player between Afridi and Razzaq.
The performance (in term of scores) of Afridi in first five matches is:
0, 10, 0, 0, 100 and average score is 22 whereas the performance of Razzaq in first five matches is: 12, 22, 32, 22, 22 and average score is also 22�.

In this case, you need to dig deeper and not just use the average.
Look at the standard deviation.
For Afridi, it's 39.2 while for Razzaq, it's 6.32 which means Razzaq is a more consistent performer while Afridi is much more sporadic.
I'd choose Razzaq.
