    Then why is the explanation confusing? I find it pretty clear...

    It is Confusing because in his Query the parameter 1 does not mean that Number of samples.if you put 100 inplace of 1 still it gives the same null. as per his explanation it is not a divide by zero error

    The usage of the Function is wrong in the Query.

    see if we can use some thing like below it gives 0

    SELECT STDEV(1) from sys.objects

    Allright, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
