Can standard deviation be greater than mean?
Standard deviation can be greater than the mean.
What does quartile in math?
Quartiles in statistics are three values such that the lower quartile, second quartile (better known as the median) and upper quartile divide up the set of observations into four subsets with equal numbers in each subset.a quarter of the observations are smaller than the lower quartile,a quarter of the observations are between the lower quartile and the median,a quarter of the observations are between the median and the upper quartile, anda quarter of the observations are greater than the upper quartile,
Is mean absolute deviation and average deviation are the same?
No. Mean absolute deviation is usually greater than 0. It is 0 only if all the values are exactly the same - in which case there is no point in calculating a deviation! The average deviation is always (by definition) = 0
How is standard deviation different from mean absolute decation?
If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation. One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.
What is considered a high standard deviation?
There's no valid answer to your question. The problem is a standard deviation can be close to zero, but there is no upper limit. So, I can make a statement that if my standard deviation is much smaller than my mean, this indicates a low standard deviation. This is somewhat subjective. But I can't make say that if my standard deviation is many times the mean value, that would be considered high. It depends on the problem at hand.
Can standard deviation be greater than mean?
Standard deviation can be greater than the mean.
Can the mean be less than the standard deviation?
In general, a mean can be greater or less than the standard deviation.
What is relative measure?
These measures are calculated for the comparison of dispersion in two or more than two sets of observations. These measures are free of the units in which the original data is measured. If the original data is in dollar or kilometers, we do not use these units with relative measure of dispersion. These measures are a sort of ratio and are called coefficients. Each absolute measure of dispersion can be converted into its relative measure. Thus the relative measures of dispersion are:Coefficient of Range or Coefficient of Dispersion.Coefficient of Quartile Deviation or Quartile Coefficient of Dispersion.Coefficient of Mean Deviation or Mean Deviation of Dispersion.Coefficient of Standard Deviation or Standard Coefficient of Dispersion.Coefficient of Variation (a special case of Standard Coefficient of Dispersion)
What does it indicate if the mean is greater than the standard deviation?
It does not indicate anything if the mean is greater than the standard deviation.
What does quartile in math?

Why is standard deviation better than variance?
Better for what? Standard deviation is used for some calculatoins, variance for others.
What does a negative deviation mean?
A negative deviation means that the observation is smaller than whatever it is that the deviation is being measured from.
Is the standard deviation best thought of as the distance from the mean?
No. A small standard deviation with a large mean will yield points further from the mean than a large standard deviation of a small mean. Standard deviation is best thought of as spread or dispersion.
Why standard deviation is better measure of variance?
1. Standard deviation is not a measure of variance: it is the square root of the variance.2. The answer depends on better than WHAT!
When is a t test better than a z score?
When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.
How do you calculate mean and Median smaller then Standard deviation?
In the same way that you calculate mean and median that are greater than the standard deviation!
Is standard deviation always smaller than mean?
No.
