The standard deviation provides in indication of what proportion of the entire distribution of the sample falls within a certain distance from the mean or average for that sample. If your data falls on a normal (or bell shaped) distribution, a SD of 1 indicates that about 68% of your data points (scores or whatever else) fall within 1 point (plus or minus) of the average (mean) of the data, and 95% fall within 2 points.

If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
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 the relationship between standard deviation and variance?
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
What a large standard deviation means?
A large standard deviation means that the data were spread out. It is relative whether or not you consider a standard deviation to be "large" or not, but a larger standard deviation always means that the data is more spread out than a smaller one. For example, if the mean was 60, and the standard deviation was 1, then this is a small standard deviation. The data is not spread out and a score of 74 or 43 would be highly unlikely, almost impossible. However, if the mean was 60 and the standard deviation was 20, then this would be a large standard deviation. The data is spread out more and a score of 74 or 43 wouldn't be odd or unusual at all.
What is the difference between standard error and standard deviation?
Standard error is the difference between a researcher's actual findings and their expected findings. Standard error measures the accuracy of one's predictions. Standard deviation is the difference between the results of one's experiment as compared with other results within that experiment. Standard deviation is used to measure the consistency of one's experiment.
What is the standard deviation of 9?
You need more than one number to calculate a standard deviation, so 9 does not have a standard deviation.
Is it possible that the standard deviation is less than one?
Yes, a standard deviation can be less than one.
In practice which one do you think is easier to adjust the mean or the standard deviation?
the standard deviation
What is the standard deviation of 1.6 kilometers?
One can't associate a standard deviation with a single measurement like this.
What does one standard deviation mean?
Standard deviation is a measure of variation from the mean of a data set. 1 standard deviation from the mean (which is usually + and - from mean) contains 68% of the data.
What are the characteristics of standard deviation?
There are a few characteristics of standard deviation. Standard deviation means that something is predictably doing something other than what it typically does. One characteristic is that it is frequent.
What are the assumptions of standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
What is standard deviation of 155.45?
The standard deviation is 0.
If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
