Standard deviation is the measure of the average distance from the mean. It quantifies the amount of dispersion or spread of the data from the central tendency (mean). Range is a measure of the spread of data, but it only considers the maximum and minimum values, whereas standard deviation considers all values in the data set. Median and mode are measures of central tendency and do not describe the variability or spread of the data.
