Collecting the data might be a good start.
The mean is 12 and each observation is 8 units away from 12.
They are sometimes used.
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
The formula for calculating uncertainty in a dataset using the standard deviation is to divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
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.

Assuming var is variance, simply square the standard deviation and the result is the variance.

The mean is 12 and each observation is 8 units away from 12.
Standard deviation is a calculation. It I used in statistical analysis of a group of data to determine the deviation (the difference) between one datum point and the average of the group.For instance, on Stanford-Binet IQ tests, the average (or, mean) score is 100, and the standard deviation is 15. 65% of people will be within a standard deviation of the mean and score between 85 and 115 (100-15 and 100+15), while 95% of people will be within 2 standard deviations (30 points) of the mean -- between 70 and 130.
The goal is to disregard the influence of sample size. When calculating Cohen's d, we use the standard deviation in teh denominator, not the standard error.
No it is not correct.
In terms of stock analysis, volatility.
They are sometimes used.
There is 1) standard deviation, 2) mean deviation and 3) mean absolute deviation. The standard deviation is calculated most of the time. If our objective is to estimate the variance of the overall population from a representative random sample, then it has been shown theoretically that the standard deviation is the best estimate (most efficient). The mean deviation is calculated by first calculating the mean of the data and then calculating the deviation (value - mean) for each value. If we then sum these deviations, we calculate the mean deviation which will always be zero. So this statistic has little value. The individual deviations may however be of interest. See related link. To obtain the means absolute deviation (MAD), we sum the absolute value of the individual deviations. We will obtain a value that is similar to the standard deviation, a measure of dispersal of the data values. The MAD may be transformed to a standard deviation, if the distribution is known. The MAD has been shown to be less efficient in estimating the standard deviation, but a more robust estimator (not as influenced by erroneous data) as the standard deviation. See related link. Most of the time we use the standard deviation to provide the best estimate of the variance of the population.
