For non specialized person, what is standard deviation - as simple as possible -?
How do you calculate standard deviation?
To calculate standard deviation, you take the square root of the variance. Variance is the average of the squared differences from the mean. So first you find the mean of the data, then you find the difference between each data point and the mean, square each difference, find the average of these squared differences, and finally take the square root of the average to get the standard deviation.
