• [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • [x] (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

This came out of https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/43213#discussion_r699410411

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pd.__version__
Out[2]: '1.4.0.dev0+532.g9bf09adcda'

In [3]: df=pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*3, columns=["a","b"], dtype="Int64")

In [4]: df.groupby("a").std().dtypes
Out[4]: 
b    float64
dtype: object

In [5]: df=pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*3, columns=["a","b"], dtype="Float64")

In [6]: df.groupby("a").std().dtypes
Out[6]: 
b    float64
dtype: object

Problem description

With Float64 as input, should return Float64 and not float64

Output of pd.show_versions()

See #37494

Comment From: debnathshoham

I don't think this behaviour is specific to nullable dtypes. I think it is always cast to float64

```python In [17]: df=pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*3, columns=["a","b"], dtype="float32")

In [18]: df.groupby("a").std().dtypes Out[18]: b float64 dtype: object

Does this happen also with other functions except var? I think this is on purpose for std and var

Comment From: debnathshoham

var is working as expected..

```python

In [4]: df=pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*3, columns=["a","b"], dtype="Int64")

In [5]: df.groupby("a").var().dtypes Out[5]: b Float64 dtype: object

In [6]: df=pd.DataFrame([[1,2]]*3, columns=["a","b"], dtype="float32")

In [7]: df.groupby("a").var().dtypes Out[7]: b float32 dtype: object
