SAA - Jitter

This is the best explanation I found about SAA jitter results.

But I could not understand how it get 14ms. Can you?
Specifically, I did not get this: "If you subtract the square of the average from this value and take the square root"

Applying some simple statistics, you can use the square value to understand how the actual values are spread around this average. The mean of the squares of the round trip times is 3,922 milliseconds2 (just dividing the sum of the squares by the total number of samples). If you subtract the square of the average from this value and take the square root, you get a statistical estimate of the variation in milliseconds. The higher this value, the greater the spread. In this case, you can calculate that this spread is roughly 14 milliseconds. This means that half of the time, the round trip latency is within the range 61114ms. Note that the 1 symbol is a standard mathematical notation that, in this case, indicates a range from 47ms (61-14) to 75ms (61+14).
