This is a standard deviation contest. you must choose four numbers from the whole numbers 22 to 9595, with repeats allowed. choose four numbers that have the largest possible standard deviation. (give your answer in the form of comma separated list of numbers in ascending order.)

Answer 1

Given a set numbers, to get the largest possible standard deviation, we use the numbers at the extreme.

Therefore, if we are to choose 4 numbers from 22 to 9,595 such that we have the largest possible standard deviation, the four numbers are 22, 22, 9,595 and 9,595.
