standard deivation is a measure of dispersion that shows the overall consistency of the data.
From the standard deviation statistic it is clear that data for males are less consistent in comparision to data for females.
Also from the mean data it is clear that average consumprion for males are higher than average consumption for females.
if we consider dispersion of data and mean both, still mean consuption for males is comparitively higher than females.
