Question 309620: I have one question . My question is once I have calculated the standard deviation of two data sets, what conclussion am I expected to draw from the answers? I believe I have the correct numbers, but I'm not sure how to describe what I've found (quiz question). The question relates to the ages of the first seven presidents and the last seven presidents including President Obama. Thank you for your assistance and patience.

The size of the standard deviation tells you about
the spread of the data. Smaller std's mean the data
is clustered near the mean. Larger std's mean at least
some of the data is located further from the mean.
