Yes; the standard deviation is the square root of the mean, so it will always be larger.
A single number, such as 478912, always has a standard deviation of 0.
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.
The standard deviation is always be equal or higher than zero. If my set of data is limited to whole numbers, all of which are equal, the standard deviation is 0. In all other situations, we first calculate the difference of each number from the average and then calculate the square of the difference. While the difference can be a negative, the square of the difference can not be. The square of the standard deviation has to be positive, since it is the sum of all positive numbers. If we calculate s2 = 4, then s can be -2 or +2. By convention, we take the positive root.
Standard deviation shows how much variation there is from the "average" (mean). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
A single number, such as 478912, always has a standard deviation of 0.
Because it is defined as the principal square root of the variance.
A single number, such as 478912, always has a standard deviation of 0.
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.
In statistical analysis, the value of sigma () can be determined by calculating the standard deviation of a set of data points. The standard deviation measures the dispersion or spread of the data around the mean. A smaller standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean, while a larger standard deviation indicates greater variability. Sigma is often used to represent the standard deviation in statistical formulas and calculations.
Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data.
No, if the standard deviation is small the data is less dispersed.

Standard deviation is the variance from the mean of the data.
No. Variance and standard deviation are dependent on, but calculated irrespective of the data. You do, of course, have to have some variation, otherwise, the variance and standard deviation will be zero.
