  1. SD standard deviation, SE standard error, Conf. confidence, PCV Percentage of CV (coefficient of variation), PSEM percentage of SEM (standard error of the mean). A number of fruits measured, the number of fruits piratically measured for the reporter activity; sample size, the amount of data sampled each time from the practically measured data collection
