What does standard deviation represent?

• How many different variations are in the data set.

• How the population varies compared to the sample.

• How spread out each data value is from the mean.

• The range, but with a bunch of other stuff going on.

All of the below sets have the same mean.
Set 1-Standard Deviation=3.1
Set 2-Standard Deviation=4.9
Set 3-Standard Deviation=1.7
Set 4-Standard Deviation=3.2

• 1
• 2
• 3
