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.
When analysing normally distributed data, standard deviation can be used in conjunction with the mean in order to calculate data intervals. If = mean, S = standard deviation and x = a value in the data set, then. 1  about 68% of the data lie in the interval: . 2  about 95% of the data lie in the interval: + 2S.
