Standard deviation measures how spread out the values in a dataset are from the mean. A low standard deviation means values cluster tightly; a high one means they are spread out. It is the square root of variance.
Guide étape par étape
- 1Find the mean x̄
- 2Subtract the mean from each value and square the result: (xᵢ − x̄)²
- 3Average the squared differences (÷n for population, ÷(n−1) for sample)
- 4Take the square root
