What is the relationship between standard deviation and variance?
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
Is variance the square root of standard deviation?
No, you have it backwards, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the variance is the standard deviation squared. Usually you find the variance first, as it is the average sum of squares of the distribution, and then find the standard deviation by squaring it.
Is it true that the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the variance?
Yes. Please see the related link, below.
Why is standard deviation of a statistic called standard error?
The standard error is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
Can standard deviation equals to variance?
The variance is the square of the standard deviation.This question is equivalent tocan s = s^2The answer is yes, but only in two cases.If the standard deviation is 1 exactly, then so is the variance.If the standard deviation is 0 exactly, then so is the variance.If the standard deviation is anything else, then it is not equal to the variance.You are not likely to find these special cases in practical problems, so from a practical sense, you should think that they are generally not equal.
