The distance of a data value from the mean is measured by a statistical measure called the standard deviation. It quantifies the spread of values in a dataset and provides insight into how much individual data points deviate from the average, or mean.<\/p>\n

The standard deviation is a widely used measure of variability in statistics and is calculated as the square root of the variance. It tells us how much the data values typically deviate from the mean. A small standard deviation indicates that the values are closely clustered around the mean, while a large standard deviation suggests that the values are more spread out.<\/p>\n
