Answer is Square-root(14) or approximately +/-3.74.

Explanation:

To find the standard deviation, you must first find the mean of the population. In this case, the mean is (3+6+12)/3 = 21/3 = 7.

Then, we take the Square root of (average of the Squares of (mean - each number)).

= Square-root of ( [ (7-3)^2 + (7-6)^2 + (7-12)^2 ] / 3 )

= Square root of ( [ 16 + 1 + 25 ] / 3 )

= Square root of (42 / 3)

= Square root of (14)

What does it mean when the standard deviation is 1?

A standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variation there in a population or group. A standard deviation of 1 means that 68% of the members of the population are withing plus or minus the value of the standard deviation from the average. For example: assume the average height of men is 5 feet 9 inches, and the standard deviation is three inches. Then 68% of all men are between 5' 6" and 6' which is 5'9" plus or minus 3 inches. [Note: this is only to illustrate and is not intended to be a real/correct statistic of men's heights.]
