you find the mean or average of all the numbers, then you subtract all of your data values or trials from the mean, for example if your mean was 3 and you had five data values it would look something like this. 4-3=1 5-3=2 2-3=-1 3-3=0 5-3=2. you then square all of those results and add them so you end up with 1+4+1+0+4=10 ten is your variance, find the square root of the variance so square root of 10 is
3.162-note you put 3 places after decimal for sd so dont pay attention to sig figs. 3.162 is your standard deviation or s

Can standard deviation be calculated for non normal data?
Standard deviation can be calculated using non-normal data, but isn't advised. You'll get abnormal results as the data isn't properly sorted, and the standard deviation will have a large window of accuracy.
What if I have a very high standard deviation?
The larger the value of the standard deviation, the more the data values are scattered and the less accurate any results are likely to be.
What is the difference between standard error and standard deviation?
Standard error is the difference between a researcher's actual findings and their expected findings. Standard error measures the accuracy of one's predictions. Standard deviation is the difference between the results of one's experiment as compared with other results within that experiment. Standard deviation is used to measure the consistency of one's experiment.
How do I calculate the standard deviation cube test compressive results of 50486055535157526145?
A single observation, such as 50486055535157526145 cannot have a standard deviation cube test compressive result.
How are Stanford-Binet intelligence scale results measured?
.The test has a mean, or average, standard score of 100 and a standard deviation of 16 (subtests have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 8). The standard deviation indicates how far above or below the norm the subject's score is.
What is meant by the mean and standard deviation of a set of results?
The mean is the average of the numbers in your results. For example if your results are 7, 3 and 14, then your mean is 8. Numerically, (7+3+14)/3 The standard deviation measures how widely spread the values in a data set are.
What is the significance of standard deviation?
To see how wide spread the results are. If the average (mean) grade for a certain test is 60 percent and the standard deviation is 30, then about half of the students are not studying. But if the mean is 60 and the standard deviation is 5 then the teacher is doing something wrong.
If the standard deviation of a group of data is the same are the results reliable?
It depends on WHAT the sd is the same as.
What does is mean when the standard deviation is 0?
Intuitively, a standard deviation is a change from the expected value.For the question you asked, this means that the change in the "results" doesn't exist, which doesn't really happen. If the standard deviation is 0, then it's impossible to perform the test! This shows that it's impossible to compute the probability with the "null" standard deviation from this form:z = (x - µ)/σIf σ = 0, then the probability doesn't exist.
What does it mean if standard deviation was more than its mean?
It means the results (the information given) are spread out meaning the space in-between the results is quite big
How do you do variance?
you have to first find the Mean then subtract each of the results from the mean and then square them. then you divide by the total amount of results and that gives you the variance. If you square root the variance you will get the standard deviation
