Standard deviation is a measure of variation from the mean of a data set. 1 standard deviation from the mean (which is usually + and - from mean) contains 68% of the data.

In practice which one do you think is easier to adjust the mean or the standard deviation?
the standard deviation
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
What is the difference between standard error of mean and standard deviation of means?
Standard error of the mean (SEM) and standard deviation of the mean is the same thing. However, standard deviation is not the same as the SEM. To obtain SEM from the standard deviation, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
How is the mean related to standard deviation?
Mean and standard deviation are not related in any way.

If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
What is the difference between standard error of mean and standard deviation of means?
Standard error of the mean (SEM) and standard deviation of the mean is the same thing. However, standard deviation is not the same as the SEM. To obtain SEM from the standard deviation, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
How is standard deviation different from mean absolute decation?
If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation. One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.
How is the mean related to standard deviation?
Mean and standard deviation are not related in any way.
Can standard deviation be greater than mean?
Standard deviation can be greater than the mean.
Relation between mean and standard deviation?
Standard deviation is the variance from the mean of the data.
Is the standard deviation best thought of as the distance from the mean?
No. A small standard deviation with a large mean will yield points further from the mean than a large standard deviation of a small mean. Standard deviation is best thought of as spread or dispersion.
Is the standard deviation dependent on the mean?
Yes. Consider the definition of the standard deviation. It is the square root of the variance from the mean. As a result, it can be said that the standard deviation is dependent on the mean.
What does the standard deviation tell us about the mean?
The standard deviation tells us nothing about the mean.
