Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.
Does standard deviation and mean deviation measure dispersion the same?
No. The average of the deviations, or mean deviation, will always be zero. The standard deviation is the average squared deviation which is usually non-zero.
Is the mean for a set of data always greater than the standard deviation?
Yes; the standard deviation is the square root of the mean, so it will always be larger.
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?

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!
Does standard deviation and mean deviation measure dispersion the same?
No. The average of the deviations, or mean deviation, will always be zero. The standard deviation is the average squared deviation which is usually non-zero.
Is the mean for a set of data always greater than the standard deviation?
Yes; the standard deviation is the square root of the mean, so it will always be larger.
Sample standard deviation?
Standard deviation in statistics refers to how much deviation there is from the average or mean value. Sample deviation refers to the data that was collected from a smaller pool than the population.
Would the mean and standard deviation be negative if the set has only negative values?
The mean would be negative, but standard deviation is always positive.
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.
Mean of normal curve always standard deviation?
No, they are rarely the same.
What do you mean when you say that the coefficient of variation has no units?
Suppose the mean of a sample is 1.72 metres, and the standard deviation of the sample is 3.44 metres. (Notice that the sample mean and the standard deviation will always have the same units.) Then the coefficient of variation will be 1.72 metres / 3.44 metres = 0.5. The units in the mean and standard deviation 'cancel out'-always.
If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard 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.
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
