What Does SD Stand For?
SD stands for Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation (SD) is a statistical measure that quantifies the amount of variability or dispersion in a set of data points. It indicates how much individual data points typically differ from the mean of the dataset. A low standard deviation suggests that the data points are close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates greater variation. SD is widely used in fields such as finance, research, and quality control to understand data distribution and assess risk.
