standard deviation

A statistical measure of the dispersion (or spread) from the arithmetic mean (or average) of a group of scores. Chronometric dates derived with a radiometric method are published with a "plus or minus" factor, which usually is a range of dates within one standard deviation above and below the mean. This should be read as a 67% likelihood that the actual date falls within the given range.
