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)

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Therefore, the standard deviation is the sqrt 36 or 6.


What numbers have a mean of 5 and standard deviation of 1?

To have a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1, a set of numbers can be constructed such that the average of the numbers equals 5, while their spread from that average is consistent with a standard deviation of 1. For example, the numbers 4, 5, and 6 meet these criteria: their mean is (4 + 5 + 6) / 3 = 5, and the standard deviation is calculated to be 1. Other combinations of numbers can also satisfy these conditions, as long as they maintain the same mean and standard deviation.


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.]
