Spurious link

Low vs High
The intro paragraph mentions "low standard deviation" and "high standard deviation" without defining what is considered low and what is considered high. I don't see an explanation in the article, either. Or perhaps it is described using different words? 172.56.212.18 (talk) 20:39, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
