Plot of the standard error of the estimate of the true sample SD versus number of sample replicates [4,5]. Probably at least 5 replicates should be measured, the more the better. Nine replicates, for example, have only half the error of three replicates. The vertical line shows that for 5 replicates, the ERR is 35.3%.
