Standard deviation is not a range. It is a single number that represents how much the data is a set of observations varies about the mean. Mathematically it is the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences between the samples and the mean divided by N, or divided by N-1. The decision of N or N-1 depends on whether or not the mean was also calculated with the calculation of the standard deviation. If it was the same calculation, use N-1, it the mean was known beforehand, use N.

For clarification of parenthesis, and use of N or N-1, see the Related Link below.
