Standard Deviation

Domain: Math & Logic for AI

🎯 Motivation

The square root of variance, in the same units as the data. Easier to interpret.

📋 Concrete Example

If variance is 25, standard deviation is 5. Most data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

🔗 Analogy

Like a margin of error - plus or minus 5 marks tells you how spread out exam scores typically are.
