What does it mean to format a spread sheet?

FFS


Plus and Minus mean the same thing so if Patriots are favored and they play the Titans Patriots -7 and Titans plus 7 would mean the same thing right?

In other words, why isn't it standardized so that the underdog always gets plus points next to the name? Or the other way around, why don't they just list the favorite with minus next to the name? Why is it mixed and matched depending on the game? The point spread in football is simple. It is never "mixed and matched" depending on the game. However, it does seem backward until you think about it. If a team is favored by 6.5 points, then it has a -6.5 point spread. They must "make up" 6.5 points to "beat the spread". The underdog would therefore have a + 6.5 spread. Get it?

What does plus or minus a standard deviation of 17 cm mean?

It refers to some variable whose distribution has got some mean and the measure of its spread is a standradr deviation of 17 cm. If the distribution is Normal (or approximately so), then the interval from the mean measure minus 17 cm to the mean plus 17 cm will contain approx 68% of the total number of observations.


Does the value of the standard deviation depend on the value of the mean?

The standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data about the mean. Although it is essentially a measure of the spread, the fact that it is the spread ABOUT THE MEAN that is being measured means that it does depend on the value of the mean. However, the SD is not affected by a translation of the data. What that means is that if I add any fixed number to each data point, the mean will increase by that number, but the SD will be unchanged.


Can a standard deviation be less than 1?

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!
