1=smooth-yellow,
2=smooth-green,
3=wrinkled

Do the results make sense?choose belowThe measures of variation make sense because the data is numeric, so the spread between the values is meaningful.
It makes sense that the measures of variation cannot be calculated because there is not a large enough sample size to calculate the measures of variation.
While the measures of variation can be found, they do not make sense because the data are nominal; they don't measure or count anything.
The measures of variation do not make sense because the standard deviation cannot be greater than the variance.
