standard deviation

Well, evidently I am supposed to be blogging about chemistry, which I had forgotten entirely up until this point. SO, here it goes.

Today in class we had an experiment revolving around measuring the accuracy of glassware. I thought that the end results were very interesting, because I was not familiar with "standard deviation". I assumed that there was a term for it, but I didn't actually know up until today. It was pretty cool that one of the standard deviations was only 0.002% which is incredibly small.
