which measure of variability is expressed in the same units of measure as the mean?
The standard deviation (which is the square root of the variance) is measured in the same unit of measure as the mean.
In a particular dataset, the standard deviation tells us how much each point in the dataset varies from the mean (average ) of that dataset.
When the values in the dataset are spread more from each other, the standard deviation will be larger and when the dataset is lesser spread ie they are closer to each other, the standard deviation is smaller.
