You can calculate the mean, median, and std dev for discrete or continuous data. Each type has its own set of formulas.

Can a standard deviation be calculated for a median?

no.


How do you use standard deviation?

Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out a set of numbers are from each other. It has a variety of uses in statistics.


What is the standard deviation of the sample mean called?

The standard deviation of the sample mean is called the standard error. It quantifies the variability of sample means around the population mean and is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the population by the square root of the sample size. The standard error is crucial in inferential statistics for constructing confidence intervals and conducting hypothesis tests.


Is samplemean and the sample standard deviation simple statistics?

Yes.


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.


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.


Does variance and standard deviation assume nominal data?

No. Variance and standard deviation are dependent on, but calculated irrespective of the data. You do, of course, have to have some variation, otherwise, the variance and standard deviation will be zero.


What is deviation in statistics?

Deviation, actually called "standard deviation" is, in a set of numbers, the average distance a number in that set is away from the mean, or average, number.


What does the s stand for in statistics?

Usually s means standard deviation of a sample.


What does s-hat mean in statistics?

It is the estimate for s, the sample standard deviation.


If you square standard deviation you get this term?

Variance. However, in fact the standard deviation is calculated from the variance, not in the order that the question seems to suggest.
