In cases of immune system over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body's ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections.
Standard deviation is a measure of spread (like Range, Variance, or IQR) so it tells you how wide or concentrated your data is. You can interpret it as how far away the typical/average observation is from the mean.
A high standard deviation signifies that data is spread more widely from the mean, where a low standard deviation signals that more data align with the mean. In a portfolio of data analysis methods, the standard deviation is useful for quickly determining dispersion of data points.
