Why don't we add up the deviation scores to obtain the measure of variability? O a. the summation of the deviations scores would add up to a negative number and would be inaccurate this would decrease variability Ob. this would increase variability Od. the summation of the deviations scores would add up to zero and not be informative

When plotted, the data had a large distribution
Oa.
Ob.
When plotted, the data set had one number that was more frequent than the others.
When plotted, the data set was skewed
Od When plotted, the data set had a normal distribution
