Let x denote the values of the variable in question.
Suppose there are n observations.
Let Sx = the sum of all the values.
then the mean of x, Mx = Sx/n
Let Sxx = the sum of all the squares of the values.
The Vx (= the variance of x) is Sxx - (Mx)^2
and sigma(x) = sqrt(Vx).
Therefore one sigma deviation, relative to the mean,
= Mx - sigma(x), Mx + sigma(x).
Sigma
σ (sigma)
Yes, the variance of a data set is the square of the standard deviation (sigma) of the set. This means that the variance is always a positive number, even though the data might have a negative sigma value.
The letter s, or by sd. The Greek lower case sigma is also used.
the standard deviation of the population(sigma)/square root of sampling mean(n)
The lower case sigma character (σ) represents standard deviation.
The symbol for standard deviation is sigma , σ.
You don't need to. The mean deviation is, by definition, zero.
Coefficient of deviation (CV) is a term used in statistics. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation (sigma) to the mean (mu). The formula for CV is CV=sigma/mu.
The answer will depend on the distribution of the variable.

Sigma
If the population standard deviation is sigma, then the estimate for the sample standard error for a sample of size n, is s = sigma*sqrt[n/(n-1)]
σ sigma
Neither.
The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean. The standard deviation sigma of a probability distribution is defined as the square root of the variance sigma^2,
