No. The square of a number is always positive, so the sum of

several of them must also be positive.

Can standard deviation value be less than 01?

Yes, it can have any non-negative value.


Why the value of relative standard deviation should be less than 2?

There is no reason for that to happen.


How do you solve X squared is less then 16?

If X squared is less than 16, then the absolute value of X is less than the square root of 16. X will be greater than -4 and less than +4.


Can the mean be less than the standard deviation?

In general, a mean can be greater or less than the standard deviation.


Is it possible that the standard deviation is less than one?

Yes, a standard deviation can be less than one.


Can standard deviation value be bigger than maximum and minimum value?

No standard deviation can not be bigger than maximum and minimum values.


Is 0.50 squared greater or less than 0.50?

Since 0.50 squared equals 0.25, 0.50 squared is less than 0.50.

How is standard deviation different from mean absolute decation?

If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation. One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.


Sample standard deviation?

Standard deviation in statistics refers to how much deviation there is from the average or mean value. Sample deviation refers to the data that was collected from a smaller pool than the population.


Is a standard deviation dependent on the mean?

To find the standard deviation, you must first compute the mean for the data set. So the answer is yes. Just have a look at the 5 steps needed to compute a standard deviation and you will see why the answer is yes. In reality, people most often use calculators or computers to do this. However, it is good to understand what they are doing. 1. Compute the deviation by subtracting the mean from each value. 2. Square each individual deviation. 3. Add up the squared deviations. 4. Divide by one less than the sample size. 5. Take the square root
