What does standard deviation tell about distribution and varity?

It is a measure of the spread of the distribution. The greater the standard deviation the more variety there is in the observations.


Why is the mean the standard partner of the standard deviation?

The mean and standard deviation often go together because they both describe different but complementary things about a distribution of data. The mean can tell you where the center of the distribution is and the standard deviation can tell you how much the data is spread around the mean.


What are the assumptions of standard deviation?

The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.


What can a standard deviation tell us about the usefulness of the mean?

Standard deviation measures the dispersion or variability of data points around the mean. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points are closely clustered around the mean, suggesting that the mean is a reliable representation of the dataset. Conversely, a high standard deviation signifies greater variability, which may diminish the mean’s usefulness as a summary statistic, as it may not accurately reflect the data's central tendency. Thus, understanding standard deviation helps assess how well the mean represents the underlying data.


What is the difference between standard error of mean and standard deviation of means?

Standard error of the mean (SEM) and standard deviation of the mean is the same thing. However, standard deviation is not the same as the SEM. To obtain SEM from the standard deviation, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.

How do you identify group data or ungroup data in standard deviation?

You cannot. If you are told the standard deviation of a variable there is no way to tell whether that was derived from grouped or ungrouped data.
