Answer:
The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a series of data
Result = x_{average} ± σ
Explanation:
The standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a series of data, it is generally used when a series of measurements of some parameters are made and it is desired to take into account the statistical fluctuations of these measurements, its formula is
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt { \frac{\sum (x_i -x_{average} )^2}{ N} }[/tex]
where N is the number of measurements
This is a measure equivalent to the absolute error in a single measurement.
Therefore, the number of decimal places in a result must not be greater than the standard deviation.
Result = x_{average} ± σ
