What does the standard deviation measure in a dataset?
- Central tendency
- Dispersion
- Kurtosis
- Skewness
The standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.
