you cant have a decimal on a die

The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.
Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)
The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Variance is defined as:
The average of the squared differences from the Mean
