A milligram is a measure of mass and, as far as I am aware, data time is not measured as a mass. Consequently, conversion between the two is not valid.A milligram is a measure of mass and, as far as I am aware, data time is not measured as a mass.

I am not entirely sure I understand correctly what you mean by "essence". However, the idea of finding the standard deviation is to determine, as a general tendency, whether most data points are close to the average, or whether there is a large spread in the data. The standard deviation means, more or less, "How far is the typical data point from the average?"
3 common Measure of central tendency are the mean, median and the mode. They are measures in that they tell how how far any given value is from the center of a set of data. For example, the mean is commonly known as the average. Lets say you have the test scores, 25%, 50% , 75% and 100% You wonder how your 50% is compared to the mean? Since the mean is 62.5, you performed "below average." So that measure of central tendency measured how far you were from average. The others do the same thing.
They all describe data set or data sets,hey tell you how far apart they are from each other.
Ordinal data is data that can be ranked, but you can not say anything about how far apart the data entries are. You can count and order it but not measure difference between data entries. For example if we talk about teams, one can be first, the next second etc, but that tells us nothing about how far ahead team 1 is. In many surveys they use agree or disagree and you rank your answer from 1 to 5.
Yes. Standard deviation depends entirely upon the distribution; it is a measure of how spread out it is (ie how far from the mean "on average" the data is): the larger it is the more spread out it is, the smaller the less spread out. If every data point was the mean, the standard deviation would be zero!
A variance is a measure of how far a set of numbers is spread out around its mean.
Variance is a measure of "relative to the mean, how far away does the other data fall" - it is a measure of dispersion. A high variance would indicate that your data is very much spread out over a large area (random), whereas a low variance would indicate that all your data is very similar.Standard deviation (the square root of the variance) is a measure of "on average, how far away does the data fall from the mean". It can be interpreted in a similar way to the variance, but since it is square rooted, it is less susceptible to outliers.
Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data around the mean. The standardized value or z-score, tells how many standard deviations the measurement is away from the mean, and in which direction.z score = (observation - mean) / standard deviationStandard deviation is the unit measurement. This tells what the value a decimal is.
It means that all of the ten numbers are 15!Standard deviation tells you how spread out the data is from the mean value. Or in other words, it tells you how far the numbers in your data are away from the mean value.If the standard deviation is a high number, it means the data is largely spread out and that there are big differences in the data. The numbers in the data would be quite far from each other. For example, if you had data like: 8, 35, 13, 47, 22, 64, this would probably mean that you'll get a high standard deviation because each of the numbers are very spread out.On the other hand, if the standard deviation is small, it tells you that the numbers in the data are quite close together and that there is only a small difference between the numbers in the data. For example, if you had data like: 19, 25, 20, 22, 23, 18, this would probably mean that you'll get a low standard deviation because each of the numbers aren't that spread outIn the scenario you've given, the standard deviation is ZERO. This means that there is no spread or variation AT ALL with the numbers in your data. This means every single number in the data is the same.Since your mean is 15 and every number in your data is the same, that means that all the ten numbers in your data have to be 15!Hope that makes sense.Jamz159

An outlier does affect the mean of the data. How it's affected depends on how many data points there are, how far from the data the outlier is, whether it is greater than the mean (increases mean) or less than the mean (decreases the mean).
It is a descriptive statistical measure used to measure the shape of the curve drawn from the frequency distribution or to measure the direction of variation. It is a measure of how far positively skewed (below the mean) or negatively skewed (above the mean) the majority (that's where the mode comes in) of the data lies. Useful when conducting a study using histograms. (mean - mode) / standard deviation. or [3(Mean-Median)]/Standard deviation
