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.
Based on the answer choices, we suspect you intend
.. (x -1) +26 = -4x
This simplifies to
.. x +25 = -4x
.. 25 = -5x . . . . . subtract x
.. -5 = x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Selection D appears to be appropriate for the question we think you asked.
We need a pic of the line plot to complete and answer this
The all go over 18 so put them all over 18
16/18+12/18+3/18=31/18
31/18 or 1.722222222........
