Homework Statement
How does skew and range affect the standard deviation; does one affect it more than the other?
Homework Equations
None
The Attempt at a Solution
It seems as though if the range increases, the standard deviation increases because the SD is a measure of how spread apart from the mean each observation is. However, I have no idea how skew for a data set would affect the SD of that data set. Also, I am not really sure what the question is asking.
