Assuming var is variance, simply square the standard deviation and the result is the variance.
There is 1) standard deviation, 2) mean deviation and 3) mean absolute deviation. The standard deviation is calculated most of the time. If our objective is to estimate the variance of the overall population from a representative random sample, then it has been shown theoretically that the standard deviation is the best estimate (most efficient). The mean deviation is calculated by first calculating the mean of the data and then calculating the deviation (value - mean) for each value. If we then sum these deviations, we calculate the mean deviation which will always be zero. So this statistic has little value. The individual deviations may however be of interest. See related link. To obtain the means absolute deviation (MAD), we sum the absolute value of the individual deviations. We will obtain a value that is similar to the standard deviation, a measure of dispersal of the data values. The MAD may be transformed to a standard deviation, if the distribution is known. The MAD has been shown to be less efficient in estimating the standard deviation, but a more robust estimator (not as influenced by erroneous data) as the standard deviation. See related link. Most of the time we use the standard deviation to provide the best estimate of the variance of the population.
Before calculating kurtosis, you first need to determine the mean and standard deviation of the dataset. The mean is crucial for centering the data, while the standard deviation is necessary for standardizing the values. After these calculations, you can compute the fourth moment about the mean, which is essential for deriving the kurtosis value.
Standard deviation is the variance from the mean of the data.
The mean is the average value and the standard deviation is the variation from the mean value.
no the standard deviation is not equal to mean of absolute distance from the mean
The mean is 12 and each observation is 8 units away from 12.

Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
In statistical analysis, the value of sigma () can be determined by calculating the standard deviation of a set of data points. The standard deviation measures the dispersion or spread of the data around the mean. A smaller standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean, while a larger standard deviation indicates greater variability. Sigma is often used to represent the standard deviation in statistical formulas and calculations.
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
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.
Standard deviation can be greater than the mean.
Standard deviation is the variance from the mean of the data.
Mean and standard deviation are not related in any way.
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.
