4. The score distribution of Set A and Set
B have equal mean but with different
SDs. Set A has SD of 2.75 while Set B has
SD of 3.25. Which statement is TRUE of
the score distributions?
A. Majority of the scores in Set B are
clustered around the mean.
B. Majority of the scores in Set A are
clustered around the mean than in Set B.

(Standard Deviation) is 2.75 which is
smaller than Set B’s SD (3.25), this means
that most of the scores in Set A are
CLUSTERED around the mean than the
scores in Set B. Remember, if the Standard
Deviation is SMALL/LOW, scores are
CLUSTERED, CLOSER and LESS
VARIED. However, if the SD is
LARGE/HIGH, scores are DISPERSED,
SCATTERED, SPREAD APART and
MORE VARIED.
