maybe this is a stupid question, but I will ask anyway

2.5 standard deviations - is this basically saying you take the standard deviation of your rounds and multiply it by 2.5?

also, when is it calculated? as in, if I've played 20 total rounds, now comes the new update where I have played 10 new rounds, but dropped 5 off - does the standard deviation now use all 25 of my rounds, then drops the ones that qualify? and if say one does get dropped, is the standard deviation then re calculated for 24 rounds or left alone based on what the original 25 were?

basically I guess what I'm asking is if the standard deviation determines that x round will be dropped, is that x round included in the calculation of said standard deviation? both before and after?
