Answer:

  Set A's standard deviation is larger than Set B's

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is a measure of variation. One way to judge the value of standard deviation is by looking at the range of the data. In general, a dataset with a smaller range will have a smaller standard deviation.

The range of data Set A is 25-1 = 24.

The range of data Set B is 18-8 = 10.

Set A's range is larger, so we expect its standard deviation to be larger.

__

The standard deviation is the root of the mean of the squares of the differences from the mean. In Set A, the differences are ±12, ±11, ±10. In Set B, the differences are ±5, ±3, ±1. We don't actually need to compute the RMS difference to see that it is larger for Set A.

Set A's standard deviation is larger than Set B's.
