Standard Deviation and Variance. Deviation just means how far from the normal. Standard Deviation. The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is Ï (the greek letter sigma) The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance.
For example, in the population {4, 8}, the mean is 6 and the deviations from mean are {-2, 2}. Those deviations squared are {4, 4} the average of which (the variance) is 4. Therefore, the standard deviation is 2. In this case 100% of the values in the population are at one standard deviation of the mean. The standard deviation is the most common measure of statistical dispersion, measuring how widely spread the values in a data set are. If the data points are close to the mean, then the standard deviation is small.
