Below is the mean income and standard deviation for 2 communities. Tell me what the difference is in these 2 communities. Based on the data only, how might these 2 communities be different:
Community A: mean income = $20,100; standard deviation = $10,022
Community B: mean income = $21,000; standard deviation = $1,035
## Q ) Below is the mean income and standard deviation for 2 communities. Tell me what the difference is in these 2 communities. Based on the data only, how might these 2 communities be different:
Community A: mean income = $20,100; standard deviation = $10,022
Community B: mean income = $21,000; standard deviation = $1,035
Answer :
1) comparison of mean :
here mean for community A is less than community B ,
that is estimate is more for community B than community A , hence we can say that community B is better than
community A . generally average more consider it good .
2) comparison of standard deviation :
here standard deviation for community A is more than community for B
we know that when we compare standard deviation less standard deviation is better than large standard deviation . if less standard deviation then there is less variability then there might have less error . and large standard deviation there is more variability then there might have large error . hence generally less standard deviation is better or good than large standard deviation .
we can say community income for B is good than community income for A .
