could you please help me with this one? the full sentence in which it appears is: 各値は、Xっ匹のラットから得られた平均値士標準誤差を示した。

Mean plus/minus standard deviation (standard error)

The sentence reads,

"Each value represents the mean plus/minus one standard deviation for X number of rats."

When presenting statistics (like averages) for a dataset, it is common to also provide the values corresponding to one standard deviation either lower or higher than the average to give an indication of how spread out the data is (i.e. how much variation there is).

Try googling "mean plus/minus standard deviation" for references.

Good luck!

Please use: "the mean plus/minus one standard deviation". I omitted the word "one" in the title of my posting.
