Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) is a measure of precision (not accuracy). RSD is sometimes called coefficient of variation (CV) and often is calculated as a percentage. s = standard deviation x = mean RSD = s/x, as a percentage, (s/x) *100 The RSD allows standard deviations of different measurements to be compared more meaningfully. For example, if one is measuring the concentration of two compounds A and B and the result is 0.5 (+/-) 0.4 ng/mL for compound A and 10 (+/-) 2 ng/mL for compound B, one may look at the standard deviation for compound A and say because it is lower (0.4 vs. 2) than for B, the measurement for A was more precise. Actually this is not the case. When the %RSD is used the new values for compound A and B are 0.5 (+/-) 80% and 10 (+/-) 20% respectively, therefore, the measurement for compound B is more precise.

density tells us how packed the object is
The bell curve, also known as the normal distribution, is a symmetrical probability distribution that follows the empirical rule. The empirical rule states that for approximately 68% of the data, it lies within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations when data follows a normal distribution. This relationship allows us to make predictions about data distribution based on these rules.
You should convert metric measurements to standard US measurements when you need to communicate with someone who is more familiar with the US system, or if the specific context or requirements you are dealing with call for the use of standard US measurements.
The standard deviation tells us nothing about the mean.
US IQ standard Deviation is 16.
Standard Deviation tells you how spread out the set of scores are with respects to the mean. It measures the variability of the data. A small standard deviation implies that the data is close to the mean/average (+ or - a small range); the larger the standard deviation the more dispersed the data is from the mean.
The standard deviation of height in the US population is approximately 3 inches.
It is a measure of the spread of the distribution: whether all the observations are clustered around a central measure or if they are spread out.

standard deviation is the square roots of variance, a measure of spread or variability of data . it is given by (variance)^1/2
the variation of a set of numbrs
It is a measure of how variable the data is. The average distance from the average.
It gives us an idea how far away we are from the center of a normal distribution.
It means that the data are spread out around their central value.
The purpose of obtaining the standard deviation is to measure the dispersion data has from the mean. Data sets can be widely dispersed, or narrowly dispersed. The standard deviation measures the degree of dispersion. Each standard deviation has a percentage probability that a single datum will fall within that distance from the mean. One standard deviation of a normal distribution contains 66.67% of all data in a particular data set. Therefore, any single datum in the data has a 66.67% chance of falling within one standard deviation from the mean. 95% of all data in the data set will fall within two standard deviations of the mean. So, how does this help us in the real world? Well, I will use the world of finance/investments to illustrate real world application. In finance, we use the standard deviation and variance to measure risk of a particular investment. Assume the mean is 15%. That would indicate that we expect to earn a 15% return on an investment. However, we never earn what we expect, so we use the standard deviation to measure the likelihood the expected return will fall away from that expected return (or mean). If the standard deviation is 2%, we have a 66.67% chance the return will actually be between 13% and 17%. We expect a 95% chance that the return on the investment will yield an 11% to 19% return. The larger the standard deviation, the greater the risk involved with a particular investment. That is a real world example of how we use the standard deviation to measure risk, and expected return on an investment.
