6 I Standard Deviation - Notes

The document discusses standard deviation, which is a measure of how dispersed numbers are from the average value (mean). It provides information on standard deviation through four YouTube lessons which define standard deviation, show how it is visualized through a normal distribution curve, and how to calculate it. The standard deviation is calculated by taking the square root of the average of the squared differences from the mean. A small standard deviation shows numbers close to the mean, while a large standard deviation shows numbers more spread out from the mean.
