Select all of the true statements about the standard deviation of a quantitative variable. Standard deviation is never negative. O Standard deviation is resistive to unusual values. The standard deviation of a set of values is equal to 0 if and only if all of the values are the same. O Standard deviation represents how far a group of values are from the mean of those values, on average. O If a set of values has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation that is not 0, then adding a new data point with a value of 0 will have no cffect on the standard deviation. O Changing the units of a set of values (e.g., converting from inches to feet) does not affect its standard deviation.
