What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
Can a standard deviation of a sample be equal to a standard deviation of a population?
Yes
How do you calculate sample standard deviation?
Here's how you do it in Excel: use the function =STDEV(<range with data>). That function calculates standard deviation for a sample.
How do you find the sample deviation?
You're an idiot. It's standard deviation. Google that for your answer.
Where the standard deviation is not applicable?
When the sample size is small
What is the sample standard deviation of 27.5?
A single observation cannot have a sample standard deviation.
What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
Can a standard deviation of a sample be equal to a standard deviation of a population?
Yes
How do i find sample standard deviation from population standard deviation?
If the population standard deviation is sigma, then the estimate for the sample standard error for a sample of size n, is s = sigma*sqrt[n/(n-1)]
How does one calculate the standard error of the sample mean?
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
What is the statistic that is used to estimate a population standard deviation?
the sample standard deviation
What happens if you estimate population standard deviation with the sample standard deviation?
Not a lot. After all, the sample sd is an estimate for the population sd.
How do you calculate sample standard deviation?
Here's how you do it in Excel: use the function =STDEV(<range with data>). That function calculates standard deviation for a sample.
What is a standard sample deviation?
Milimetres and Centimetres.
Why is standard deviation of a statistic called standard error?
The standard error is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
Does the distribution of sample means have a standard deviation that increases with the sample size?
No, it is not.
How do you find the sample deviation?
You're an idiot. It's standard deviation. Google that for your answer.
