Standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of data. In this case, it would provide information about how consistent or inconsistent Evelyn's bowling scores have been throughout the season.

The correlation coefficient measures the strength of a relationship between two variables and is not relevant in this situation as there is only one variable (bowling scores).
