   Question

   Below is a table of income data for a sample consisting of 12 women and men (1=man; 2 =woman) In which group is the standard deviation (SD) of the variable “income” greatest, among men or among women? And from what can you infer this?

   

   
   
   1. TRUE: The standard deviation is higher among males because the scores are among this group further away from the mean of this group.
   2. FALSE: The standard deviation is higher among females, because the scores in this group further away from the mean of this group.
   3. FALSE: The standard deviation is higher among the women, because the mean score of the women is much lower than the average score of the men.
   4. FALSE: The standard deviation is higher among the men, because the mean score of the men is much higher than the mean score of the women.
   5. FALSE: The standard deviation is higher among men because the median score (median) of the men is much higher than the mean score (median) of the women.
   
   
   1. True
   2. False
   3. False
   4. False
