SD describes the variability between individual observations about their mean value. It is rarely possible to obtain measurements for all members of a population, so we estimate the population mean (usually denoted by m) and the population SD (s) using the mean and SD of a random sample of observations drawn from that population. The greater the spread of the observations about the mean, the larger the SD.
