Recall that the standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values from the mean.
Observe that Histogram A has scores tightly clustered around the mean, indicating less variability in the data.
Observe that Histogram B has scores spread out over a wider range, indicating more variability in the data.
Understand that a wider spread of data points corresponds to a higher standard deviation because the values deviate more from the mean.
Conclude that Histogram B depicts a higher standard deviation since its scores are more spread out compared to Histogram A.
