Determine whether the given data set would likely have a fairly small or fairly large standard deviation. The sizes of all of the planets and stars in our galaxy on a given day.

Solution

standard deviation measures distpersion. If data set has values close to each other, the data set will have small standard deviation but if data set has values very different to each other, the data set will have large standard deviation.

The given data set would likely have a fairly large standard deviation because sizes of planets are very small compared to sizes of stars.
