The standard deviation is a measure of central tendency, measuring variation from the mean. It gives information how the data are spread from the mean. It is calculated as the square root of the variance.
Variance is calculated by
s 2 = ( x x ¯ ) 2 n 1
or by the shorthand formula
s 2 = x 2 n x ¯ 2 n 1
Standard deviation is square root of variance, variation from the mean
