Re: I feel like an idiot here but I have a question about this
I will be posting helpful tidbits from the internet as I find them (I'll just keep editing here).
"The standard deviation is a statistic that tells you how tightly all the various examples are clustered around the mean in a set of data. When the examples are pretty tightly bunched together and the bell-shaped curve is steep, the standard deviation is small. When the examples are spread apart and the bell curve is relatively flat, that tells you you have a relatively large standard deviation."
"1. A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data is, the higher the deviation."
