What else can I help you with?
Is The standard deviation of all possible sample proportions increases as the sample size increases?
The standard deviation would generally decrease because the large the sample size is, the more we know about the population, so we can be more exact in our measurements.
What does large standard deviation signify?
That there is quite a large amount of variation between the observations.
What is percentile deviation?
A standard deviation in statistics is the amount at which a large number of given values in a set might deviate from the average. A percentile deviation represents this deviation as a percentage of the range.
What does it means if the standard deviation is large?
that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
Small standard deviation show what the disturbution?
It shows primarily that the measurement unit used for recording the data is very large. For example, the standard deviation of the heights of individuals, when recorded in metres, will be one hundredth of the standard deviation of their heights when recorded in centimetres. The process is known as coding.
What a large standard deviation means?
A large standard deviation means that the data were spread out. It is relative whether or not you consider a standard deviation to be "large" or not, but a larger standard deviation always means that the data is more spread out than a smaller one. For example, if the mean was 60, and the standard deviation was 1, then this is a small standard deviation. The data is not spread out and a score of 74 or 43 would be highly unlikely, almost impossible. However, if the mean was 60 and the standard deviation was 20, then this would be a large standard deviation. The data is spread out more and a score of 74 or 43 wouldn't be odd or unusual at all.
Is the standard deviation best thought of as the distance from the mean?
No. A small standard deviation with a large mean will yield points further from the mean than a large standard deviation of a small mean. Standard deviation is best thought of as spread or dispersion.
How does a sample size impact the standard deviation?
If I take 10 items (a small sample) from a population and calculate the standard deviation, then I take 100 items (larger sample), and calculate the standard deviation, how will my statistics change? The smaller sample could have a higher, lower or about equal the standard deviation of the larger sample. It's also possible that the smaller sample could be, by chance, closer to the standard deviation of the population. However, A properly taken larger sample will, in general, be a more reliable estimate of the standard deviation of the population than a smaller one. There are mathematical equations to show this, that in the long run, larger samples provide better estimates. This is generally but not always true. If your population is changing as you are collecting data, then a very large sample may not be representative as it takes time to collect.
Is The standard deviation of all possible sample proportions increases as the sample size increases?
The standard deviation would generally decrease because the large the sample size is, the more we know about the population, so we can be more exact in our measurements.
In research how to define standard deviation?
Standard deviation shows how much variation there is from the "average" (mean). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.
What does large standard deviation signify?
That there is quite a large amount of variation between the observations.
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.
What is percentile deviation?
A standard deviation in statistics is the amount at which a large number of given values in a set might deviate from the average. A percentile deviation represents this deviation as a percentage of the range.
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 does it means if the standard deviation is large?
that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
What combination of factors will produce the smallest value for the standard error?
A small sample and a large standard deviation
Small standard deviation show what the disturbution?
It shows primarily that the measurement unit used for recording the data is very large. For example, the standard deviation of the heights of individuals, when recorded in metres, will be one hundredth of the standard deviation of their heights when recorded in centimetres. The process is known as coding.
