The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.
This is the formula for Standard Deviation:
σ=(1Ni1N(xiμ)2)
Example:
we have a bunch of numbers like 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11.
To calculate the standard deviation of those numbers:
1. Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers)
2. Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result
3. Then work out the mean of those squared differences.
4. Take the square root of that.
