* obtain the arithmetic mean
* obtain the set of deviations from the mean
* square each deviation
* divide the sum of the squared deviations by the number of observations to obtain the population variance
* take the square root of the variance to obtain the standard deviation
represents the average amount by which the values in the distribution deviate from the arithmetic mean
normal distributions
68.26% - two thirds within one standard deviation
95.5% of all observations within two standard deviations
99.75% of all observations within three standard deviations of the mean
limitation
actual returns are not neatly/symmetrically dispersed
most long-run distributions of equity returns are positively skewed
The most commonly used method to quantify risk
Measures how widely dispersed are the possible outcomes around the mean expected outcome
