What is Standard Deviation in Statistics?

In Statistics, the Standard Deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range. A useful property of the standard deviation is that, unlike the variance, it is expressed in the same unit as the data. The Standard Deviation of a random variable, sample, statistical population, data set, or probability distribution is defined and calculated as the square root of its variance.
