Population standard deviation=σ=√Σ(x−µ)2NPopulation standard deviation=σ=Σ(x−µ)2N x represents all the numbers in the population. µ, the Greek letter mu, is the population mean or the average of all numbers in the population....
The purpose of the standard deviation is to help you understand if the mean really returns a "typical" data. The closer the standard deviation is to zero, the lower the data variability and the more reliable the mean is. The standard deviation equal to 0 indicates that every value in the ...

Standard deviation: measures how much variance there is in a set of numbers compared to the average (mean) of those set of numbers. It is found by calculating the square root of the variance of a dataset. Since standard deviation is measured in the same units as the dataset itself, it...
Variance and standard deviation in mathematics can be determined by employing the mean of a group of numbers in question. The mean is defined as the average of a collection of numbers, moreover, the variance estimates the average degree to which each number is different from the mean. Variance...
