Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Spread due to random errors
The Standard Deviation (σ) is a statistical measure of the dispersion or 'spread' of data around the mean.
- In physics experiments, it estimates the magnitude of random errors.
- Usually, a result is reported as xˉ±σ, where σ indicates the uncertainty interval.
