Although both groups had a mean rating of neutral, the standard
deviations tell a great deal here. With a standard deviation of .02, you
know that the scores do not vary much at all. That is, most of the group
have ratings very close to 5. With a standard deviation of 3.42, the story is
much different. This group has ratings that deviate a great deal from 5,
which indicates that there are many different and extreme positions in this
group. Group B would most certainly have more lively discussions in this
situation.
