Consider a Poisson distribution for the tossing of a biased coin. The mean for this distribution is μ. The standard deviation for this distribution is given by

  • √μ
  • Bμ²
  • Cμ
  • D1/μ

Explanation

For a Poisson distribution, the variance equals the mean (variance = μ), so the standard deviation is √μ.
