Answer:

If the variance in a dataset is 0 it means that all the numbers are all the same and they don't have to equal 0. So false

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Recall that variance describes how far a data set is spread out. In order for the variance of a dataset to be 0, then all the data points would need to be the same so that there's no difference between them (for example {5,5,5,5} has 0 variance).
