Standard deviations

While the mean is a statistial measure of entral tendeny, the standard deviation is a

measure ofdispersion.Eventhoughtheomputationitselfisabitompliated,intuitively

it givesan idea of how the values are spread. It shows how muh variation there is from

the mean. A low standard deviation indiates that the data points tend to be very lose

tothe mean,whereashigh standarddeviationindiatesthat thedata isspreadout overa

large range of values. Withsores out of a possible 15 points, astandard deviationlose
