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.
