1. What is the relationship between the variance and the standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is defined as
the average of the squares of each value's displacement from the mean. Its
connection is that if we are solving a particular set of numbers and we have
already obtained its variance, we can move ahead to the next step, which is
obtaining the standard deviation. However, if there is no variance, we will be
unable to obtain the standard deviation since the variance would be the only
means of addressing the said standard deviation.
2. Explain why the Mean is not appropriate to measure central tendency when there
are outliers. Give example to support your answer.

1. The three data sets have the same mean and range, but is the variation the
same? Prove your answer by computing the standard deviation. Assume the
data were obtained from samples.
a. 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17
b. 5, 6, 7, 11, 15, 16, 17
c. 5, 5, 5, 11, 17, 17, 17
36 + 16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16 + 36 = 112

Overall answer:
In the question “The three data sets have the same mean and range, but is the
variation the same?” my answer is NO because even though the three data sets have
the same mean and range they have different variations it is because the data sets
have different sets of numbers so that when I computed it results to different variations.
