In some data sets, the data values are concentrated closely near the mean; in other data sets, the data values are more widely spread out from the mean. The most common measure of variation, or spread, is the standard deviation. The standard deviation is a number that measures how far data values are from their mean.

This is more complicated than studying the entire population since considering every possible sample requires studying every member of the population. In practice, statisticians do not construct sampling distributions; instead, they use inferential statistics to learn about a population by studying a sample, a subset of the population, not the entire population itself.
