The graph shows a distribution of data.

A graph shows the horizontal axis numbered 1 to x. The vertical axis is unnumbered. The graph shows an upward trend from 1 to 2 then a downward trend from 2 to 3.

What is the standard deviation of the data?

0.5 <<< CORRECT ANSWER

1.5

2.0

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

EDGE 2021

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
