Standard Deviation
The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.

Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)

The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance. So now you ask, “What is the Variance?”

Variance
The Variance is defined as:

The average of the squared differences from the Mean.

To calculate the variance follow these steps:

Work out the Mean (the simple average of the numbers)
Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result (the squared difference).
Then work out the average of those squared differences. (Why Square?)
Example
You and your friends have just measured the heights of your dogs (in millimeters):

dogs on graph shoulder heights

The heights (at the shoulders) are: 600mm, 470mm, 170mm, 430mm and 300mm.
