The square of standard deviation is called:

  • (A) Variance
  • (B) Mean
  • (C) Dispersion
  • (D) Range
  • In statistics, VARIANCE is the average of the squared deviations from the mean. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So, squaring the standard deviation gives you the variance.
  • (B) Mean: The mean is a measure of central tendency and represents the average value of a data set.
  • (C) Dispersion: Dispersion is a general category of statistical measures that includes variance, standard deviation, and range. It describes how spread out the data is and is not a specific mathematical result of squaring a value.
  • (D) Range: The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. It is a simple measure of dispersion but is not calculated by squaring the standard deviation.
