standard deviation
Standard deviation (the square root of the variance) is a statistical measure of the spread of a set of numbers. A set of numbers distributed on a standard bell shaped curve would have a standard deviation of 1.

There are two kinds of standard deviation, one when you have the data for the complete population and the more common sample standard deviation where you have the data only for a random sample.
