Gehan Kassem

Not okay , high SD means that the average variation around the mean is large.

Javan Ogola

Gehan Kassem what can i do?

Abdulraheem Mukhtar Iderawumi

Yes, standard deviation can be greater than the mean.

So in the event of a negative or 0 Mean you always have a higher SD than Mean. This means nothing, it is expected to be so. In the case that the data sets values are 0 or positive a higher SD than the Mean means that the data set is very widely distributed with a (strong) positive skewness.

thanks a lot, Otar Shainidze for your support.

Abdulraheem Mukhtar Iderawumi thank you for your valuable information. Yes, indeed the data is positively skewed. Is it okay to use the high SD means or transform the data and analyze it again?

If it's possible you can repeat the experiment with larger sample size

Gehan Kassem thank you
