Mean ± SEM or Mean(SD)

1.
The common descriptive statistics is mean and standard deviation (SD)
SD 平均值和标准偏差

Data not following the normal distribution, it is median and range
适用的数据不遵循正态分布，是个中位数和范围

The SD quantifies scatter : how much the values vary from one another

The SD does not change predictably as you acquire more data.The SD quantifies the scatter of the data, and increasing the size of the sample does not increase the scatter.
相反，SD不会随着样本数量的增加而变化
SD表明了数据的分散程度 样本量的增加不一定会增加分散程度

The SD will stay the same as sample size gets larger.
样本增大可能SD值也会保持不变

If the scatter is caused by biological variability, your probably will want to show the variation. In this case, graph the SD rather than the SEM.
如果生物变异引起了分散，如果想要表现这种变异，就要使用SD而不是SEM

you could also instruct Prism to graph the range, with error bars extending from the smallest to largest value. Also consider graphing e
