Compute the standard deviation as the square root of the variance.Interpret the spread it describes.Note that it shares the data's units.Compare precision using standard deviation.
📚 Quick Recap
Standard deviation is the square root of variance — it measures spread in the same units as the original data, making it much easier to interpret directly.
