: For the total sample, describe the differences among the lifts (use M, SD, and Median). Briefly compare the data using the values you calculated. (4-5 sentences).
** I know how to interpret the mean and median, but I;m having difficulty explaining the standard deviation part. Also, I just need a brief explanation.

Explanation / Answer
Interpretation of Standard deviation for total sample:
Standard deviation is the measure of dispersion and it is used to findout the variability of the variables.From the above data the standard deviation of total was found to be more(175.22kg) than dead lift (60.76). i.e. total is the more variable character than dead lift.
Out of all the above variables age was found to be less variability than all other variables and also age was found to be less variable than dead lift
