Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard deviation is a statistical measure that calculates the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of scores around their average (mean). It provides information about how spread out the data is from the mean, and is commonly used in descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The other options (median, normal curve, distribution) are not measures of variation.
