I want to fly a covops ship and scan for people
With level 5 skills, the 5AU scanner has a std deviation of 100km
What does this mean?
If I warp to the target, how far away would I be on average?
What is this deviation used for?

I think it means the most accurate you can get to a target is 100km away.

Not sure if it applies, but standard deviation is a statistics term.
Basically it's a measure of distance from the mean - being the target you're scanning for. Don't count on the numbers, but generally it will reside within 3 - 3.5 standard deviations of the mean - meaning about 99.99% of the time, you'll be within 350KM of your target. Don't blame me if I'm wrong, but off the top of my head, you'll probably be within 100km 60-70% of the time.

It doesn't actually use the term "standard deviation" it uses "max scan deviation" as such that will be the maximum distance at which you will warp to your target at.
In a Cov ops, this is important because you usually cannot fit both a cov cloak and a recon ship prober. However in a recon ship, you can fit both and warp cloaked then just close distance before your gang joins you.

This is what I thought, standard deviation didn't sound right. Max Scan Deviation means that's the maximum deviation(variance) from the actual target that the probe will relay to you. So, you will always get a hit within 100km, or you won't get a hit at all.

Err, this is completely wrong. A covops frigate can easily fit a cloak + recon probe launcher with plenty of CPU left for the rest of your setup. Try training Covert Ops beyond level I if you're having problems fitting both.

"max scan deviation" in terms of scanprobes means that if you get a result it will be within that distance.
The actual distance you land depends on the scan strength of the returned signature.
High strength will usually land you at 0 km, Low strength can be up to 100 km [for 5au probes].
There's also a skill which reduces the maximum scan deviation.
To get the most out of a covert ops you need Covert Ops lvl 4 at least, this way you can fit a cloak and probe launcher without the need for CPU mods.
You should also get all the scanning support skills and skill them to level 4 too.

Lol, sorry what? You can't fit a Cov Ops cloak and a recon launcher on a cov ops frigate? Either your skills suck or you have never actually fitted a Cov Ops ship.
With Cov Ops 4 and all necessary skills to 4 as well.
Highs:
Cov Ops Cloak II
Recon Probe Launcher
Offline Cyno Generator
Med:
Catalyzed Cold-gas Arcjet Thrusters
Micro Azeotropic Ward Salubrity
Micro Ohm Capacitor Reserve
Eutectic 1 Capacitor Charge Array
Lows:
2 x Nanofiber Internal Structure II's
Beta Reactor Control: Diagnostic System 1
Even with basic tech II stuff you can fit
Cov Ops Cloak, Recon Launcher, Offline Cyno, MWD II, 2 x Nanofiber, 1 x Istab (Overdrives take cargo space needed for cyno fuel)
Edit: this is for an Anathema btw.
