I'm trying to understand a concept called SD value. Could someone please explain what SD value stands for and its significance in a simple and clear manner?

The standard deviation (SD) serves as a crucial metric to quantify the variability within a dataset.

It provides a single numerical value that encapsulates how spread out numbers are from the average or mean in a data set.

Essentially, the SD indicates the typical distance between each individual data point and the mean.

A smaller standard deviation implies that the data points are grouped more closely around the mean.

This clustering suggests that the values within the dataset are relatively consistent and do not deviate significantly from the average.
