The distance between the highest and the lowest scores is called the range/variance. 5.2. The SD is equal to the square root of the mean/variance. 5.3.

- 3. 5.4. The mean of the squared deviation scores is called the variance/standard deviation. 5.5. The SD of the number of errors found by an auditor in a sample of accounts of one company is likely to be higher/lower than the SD of the number of errors found in samples taken from a number of different companies. 5.6. The SD is/is not sensitive to extreme scores. 5.7. The variance of the population is represented by S2/2. 5.8. In most cases, the variance is larger/smaller than the SD. 5.9. The measure of variability that takes into consideration every score in the distribution is the range/standard deviation.
