Standard deviation is the square root of the variance (Gravetter & Wallnau‚ 2013). It uses the mean of the distribution as a reference point and measures variability by considering the distance of each score from the mean. It is important to know the standard deviation for a given sample because it gives a measure of the standard‚ or average‚ range from the mean‚ and specifies if the scores are grouped closely around the mean or are widely scattered (Gravetter & Wallnau‚ 2013). The standard deviation
