1 answer:

5 0

Yes they can and it depends on what the standard deviations are. The standard deviation is a measure of how close results are to the mean, a low standard deviations means the measurements are precise, so close to the mean. A high standard deviation means that measurements are more spread out. Saying that one set is more spread out than the other.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 2/3 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: If we have a cake that has a total of 12 pieces, and we gave four to someone else we would have 8/12 pieces left. Now if we simplify then we would have 2/3 left.
