The average length of crayfish from stream A is 10 cm. The average length of crayfish from stream B is 6 cm. What additional information is needed to determine if there is a significant difference between the average length of crayfish in stream A and the average length of crayfish in stream B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Standard deviation is needed

Explanation:

The average length of the crayfish from the stream A is given i.e the mean value 10 cm

also, the average length of crayfish from stream B is given i.e the mean value 6 cm

Now,

to find out if there is any significant difference between the average length of crayfish in stream A and the average length of crayfish in stream B we need the standard deviation of the measured lengths.

The standard deviation depicts the deviation of a value from the group.

Thus, it will help in knowing if there is any significant difference.
