The standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the data in a set is from its mean. It is a measure of dispersion, not central tendency. The mean is the measure of central tendency, which represents the average of a data set. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set, also a measure of dispersion. The median is a measure of central tendency as it represents the middle value when data is arranged in order. The variance is also a measure of dispersion, as it measures the degree of spread in a data set.
