ou have surveyed three (3) populations of organisms (A, B and C) using eleven (11) quadrats of fixed size. From these samples, you calculate the average density (standard deviation) in each population as: A: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 1.6 B: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 3.0 C: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 7.8 Which population (A, B or C) shows the most uniform distribution?
