What is the importance of "sigma" mainly in particle physics, how is it calculated, and is it possible to somehow visualize it as a layman?
Post Body
I have tried googling "sigma importance" and several other contexts, and I noticed several askers with the same question (for example here). There is also a ton of webpages with the keywords of "six sigma", and I can't find a single tree for all the forest.
