What is the definition of standard deviation?

Standard deviation is how much a group deviates from the whole. In order to calculate standard deviation, you must know the mean.


How do you identify group data or ungroup data in standard deviation?

You cannot. If you are told the standard deviation of a variable there is no way to tell whether that was derived from grouped or ungrouped data.


Standard deviation is helpful in calculating?

Standard deviation is a calculation. It I used in statistical analysis of a group of data to determine the deviation (the difference) between one datum point and the average of the group.For instance, on Stanford-Binet IQ tests, the average (or, mean) score is 100, and the standard deviation is 15. 65% of people will be within a standard deviation of the mean and score between 85 and 115 (100-15 and 100+15), while 95% of people will be within 2 standard deviations (30 points) of the mean -- between 70 and 130.


If an individual takes a test and if you know an individual's raw score the mean of the group of individuals who took the test and the standard deviation of the group you can tell the re?

You can determine the individual's z-score, which indicates how many standard deviations their raw score is from the mean of the group. The z-score is calculated using the formula: ( z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma} ), where ( X ) is the individual's raw score, ( \mu ) is the mean of the group, and ( \sigma ) is the standard deviation. This provides insight into the individual's performance relative to their peers.


Standard deviation of 10 and mean of 50 approximately 68 percent of the group members receive scores somewhere between?

Within 1 stdev of the mean - between 40 and 60.

Is the variance of a group of scores the same as the squared standard deviation?

The standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance, so the variance is the same as the squared standard deviation.

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.


On a experiment what is the group that is the standard against which results are compared?

The group that is the standard against which results are compared is called the control group. This group receives no treatment or a standard treatment, allowing researchers to compare the effects of the treatment being tested.


What does it mean when the standard deviation is 1?

A standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variation there in a population or group. A standard deviation of 1 means that 68% of the members of the population are withing plus or minus the value of the standard deviation from the average. For example: assume the average height of men is 5 feet 9 inches, and the standard deviation is three inches. Then 68% of all men are between 5' 6" and 6' which is 5'9" plus or minus 3 inches. [Note: this is only to illustrate and is not intended to be a real/correct statistic of men's heights.]


What is the standard deviation of male height in a given population?

The standard deviation of male height in a population is a measure of how spread out the heights are from the average height of males in that population. It helps to understand the variability in male heights within the group.

Why does the standard deviation get smaller as the individual in a group score more similarly on a test?

Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller. Because the standard deviation is a measure of the spread in scores. As individuals score more similarly, the spread gets smaller.


What is the difference standard error of mean and sampling error?

The standard error of the mean and sampling error are two similar but still very different things. In order to find some statistical information about a group that is extremely large, you are often only able to look into a small group called a sample. In order to gain some insight into the reliability of your sample, you have to look at its standard deviation. Standard deviation in general tells you spread out or variable your data is. If you have a low standard deviation, that means your data is very close together with little variability. The standard deviation of the mean is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the number of things in the sample. What this essentially tells you is how certain are that your sample accurately describes the entire group. A low standard error of the mean implies a very high accuracy. While the standard error of the mean just gives a sense for how far you are away from a true value, the sampling error gives you the exact value of the error by subtracting the value calculated for the sample from the value for the entire group. However, since it is often hard to find a value for an entire large group, this exact calculation is often impossible, while the standard error of the mean can always be found.
