The goal is to disregard the influence of sample size. When calculating Cohen's d, we use the standard deviation in teh denominator, not the standard error.
The formula for calculating the standard error (or some call it the standard deviation) is almost the same as for the population; except the denominator in the equation is n-1, not N (n = number in your sample, N = number in population). See the formulas in the related link.
Assuming var is variance, simply square the standard deviation and the result is the variance.
They are statistical measures. For a set of observations of some random variable the mean is a measure of central tendency: a kind of measure which tells you around what value the observations are. The standard deviation is a measure of the spread around the mean.

It is a measure of the spread of the distribution. The greater the standard deviation the more variety there is in the observations.
Assuming var is variance, simply square the standard deviation and the result is the variance.
If there is zero deviation all the observations are 50.
The standard deviation of a set of data is a measure of the spread of the observations. It is the square root of the mean squared deviations from the mean of the data.
There is no actual "smallest" observation - a standard deviation of zero means that all 100 of the observations had to be 46.
A standard deviation of 0 implies all of the observations are equal. That is, there is no variation in the data.
Collecting the data might be a good start.

The mean is 12 and each observation is 8 units away from 12.
