The standard deviation of samples from supplier A is 0.4582, while the standard deviation of samples from supplier B is 0.3358. Which supplier would you be likely to choose based on these data and why

Complete Question

The standard deviation of samples from supplier A is 0.4582, while the standard deviation of samples from supplier B is 0.3358. Which supplier would you be likely to choose based on these data and why?

1 Supplier A, as their standard deviation is higher and, thus easier to fit into our production line

2 Supplier B, as their standard deviation is higher and, thus, easier to fit into our production line

3 supplier B, as their standard deviation is lower and, thus, easier to fit into our production line

4 Supplier A, as their standard deviation is lower and, thus, easier to fit into our production line

Option 3 is  correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  standard deviation of A is  

      The  standard deviation of B is  

Generally standard deviation defines the deviation element of a data set with respect to the mean of the set

So sample  it mean that samples from A deviates more from it mean(the standard value) than the samples from B so the best supplier to chose is B
