1 day = 86,400 seconds
30 days = (30 x 86,400)
Error = 12 / (30 x 86,400) = 4.63 x 10-6 = 4.63 x 10-4 percent

Why does the standard deviation weight extreme deviations more than does the arithmetic mean?
Because the standard deviation is based on the square root of the sum of the squares of the deviations, and, as a result, the sum of the squares of the deviations puts more weight in outliers than does a simple arithmetic mean.Note: I wrote this and then had second thoughts, but I'm keeping it in so that someone with more knowledge can weigh in (pun intended). I'm not certain how the arithmetic mean factors into the question. I think the questioner, and definitely this answerer, is confused.
