Populations with larger means will also have larger standard deviations since the data will be more spread out for populations with larger means.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation is a measure of the spread of scores within a set of data and is not directly influenced by the mean of the data. Populations can have a large mean with a small standard deviation if the data points are close to the mean, or a small mean with a large standard deviation if the data points are spread out.
