Essay

In chemistry, the Kelvin scale is often used to measure temperatures. On the Kelvin scale, zero degrees is absolute zero. Temperatures on the Kelvin scale are related to temperatures on the Celsius scale as follows: $\mathrm { K } = \mathrm { C } + 273 ^ { \circ }$ . Temperatures on the Fahrenheit scale are related to temperatures on the Celsius scale as follows: $\mathrm { F } = \frac { 9 \mathrm { C } } { 5 } + 32 ^ { \circ }$ .

A set of temperatures is given in Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit. How will the standard deviations of the three sets of data compare?
