How do you find percent deviation?
to find percent deviation you divide the average deviation into the mean then multiply by 100% . to get the average deviation you must subtract the mean from a measured value.
Why is the external diameter measured four times?
To get the accuracy or to get the relative deviation.
What type of risk is measured by standard deviation?
In terms of stock analysis, volatility.
What does a coefficient of variation tell you?
It tells you about the size of variation relative to the size of the observation, and it has the advantage that the coefficient of variation is independent of the units of observation. Here is a example to help you see it. If you have a data set with weights, the value of the standard deviation of a set of weights will be different depending on whether they are measured in grams or lbs or micrograms etc. For example if you look at the weights of kids from birth to 18 years, some countries measure in lbs other in kg and some even use stones. The coefficient of variation, however, will be the same in both cases as it does not depend on the unit of measurement. So you can obtain information about the children's weight variation around the world by using the coefficient of variation to look at all the ratios of standard deviations to mean in each country. To compute it we look the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean .
What is standard deviation in psychology?
Standard deviation is a statistical measure. It may be used in psychology but is not restricted to that subject. It is a measure of the spread of the distribution of values of some attribute that is being measured.
Which measure of dispersion represents variation from the mean?
Are you talking of this in means of Statistics? If you are, then the variation from the mean is measured in standard deviation.
What are the criteria for choosing measure of central tendency and measure of variation?
Central tendency is measured by using the mean, median and mode of a set of numbers. Variation is measured by using the range, variance and standard deviation of a set of numbers.
What does a negative deviation mean?
A negative deviation means that the observation is smaller than whatever it is that the deviation is being measured from.
How do you find percent deviation?
to find percent deviation you divide the average deviation into the mean then multiply by 100% . to get the average deviation you must subtract the mean from a measured value.
What is the difference from having a standard deviation that is a sample and population and how do you tell which one is suited for the question.?
A standard deviation for a sample makes a judgment on the whole data set whereas the population standard deviation uses the shole data set. If the questions says for example, a sample of 50 peoples height was taken... you would use the sample method but if you were asked : "Everyone in the class had their height measured" you could use the population method Hope that helps
Definition of guarantee error in instrumentation?
Deviation of the measured value from the true value of the variable being measured
The correlation between an asset's real rate of return and its risk as measured by its standard deviation is usually?
The correlation between an asset's real rate of return and its risk (as measured by its standard deviation) is usually:
How genetic variation is measured?
Gentic variation is mearsured by the number of species in the given area not.
Why is the external diameter measured four times?
To get the accuracy or to get the relative deviation.
What do you measure when determining weight that you don't measure when determining mass?
The effect of gravity is measured.
What type of risk is measured by standard deviation?
In terms of stock analysis, volatility.
