Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is the average squared deviation from the mean and as an average of some squared numbers it can't be negative<span>. 

</span><span>The smallest value variance can reach is zero. This is when all the numbers in the data set are the same, therefore all the deviations from the mean are zero, all squared deviations are zero and their average is also zero.</span>

Jennifer sold 57 pieces of art if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures how many painting did she sell??
Westkost [7]

so we know she has sculptures and paintings, if she sold twice as many paintings as sculptures, that means that for every 2 paintings, she sold 1 sculpture, so the paintings and sculptures are on a 2:1 ratio.

we know she sold a total of 57, so we'll need to split 57 in a 2:1 ratio, we'll simply divide the whole amount of 57 by (2+1) and distribute accordingly.

\bf \cfrac{paintings}{sculptures}\qquad 2:1\qquad \cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{57}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 19}{1\cdot 19}\implies \cfrac{\boxed{38}}{19}
