Where there is reference to sdhi in policy documents many examples are available. This means that we dont need to know the shape of the distribution of our data. This is intuitively expected as variance shows on average how far we are from the mean. Markovs inequality and chebyshev s inequality place this intuition on firm mathematical ground.

It provides an upper bound to the probability that the absolute deviation of a random variable from its mean will exceed a given threshold. But there is another way to find a lower bound for this probability. If we knew the exact distribution and pdf of x, then we could compute this probability.
