Just a quick question as I'm writing up my coursework. I'm calculating the standard deviation of a sample, my data is rate of reaction defined as [itex]\frac{1}{time} \times 10^{-3}[/itex]. So my input data is say 0.847, but the absolute value is 0.000847. The standard deviation formula returned a value of about 0.6. Is this my standard deviation or is it actually 0.0006? I'm inclined towards 0.6, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
