Compare distributions

Which would you expect to be larger, the standard deviation of 5 random numbers picked from 1 to 47 in the California Super Lotto (CSL - write 1 as a result), or the standard deviation of 5 random numbers picked from 1 to 69 in the multi-state PowerBall Lottery (PBL -write 2 as a result)?

Final Answer:

x =  2

Step-by-step explanation:

n=5 p1=4710.0213 p2=6910.0145  r1=471=46 r2=691=68  r2>r1 => σ2>σ1  x=2
