Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values from the mean. It provides an idea of how much the individual data points deviate from the mean. This makes standard deviation a useful tool in data analysis and decision-making processes. Median, mean, and mode are measures of central tendency and do not give information about the variability of the data.
