How standard deviation is calculated for number of rasters in the Cell statistic tool?
The output is a raster where each pixel represent the STD. I want to understand the equation behind it.

There's nothing complex going on, its the STD calculated from coincident raster cell values.

The basic STD equation uses the population method and not the sample.
Note that the standard deviation is calculated on the entire population (the N method); it is not estimated based on a sample (the N-1 method).
