Standard deviation helps you identify the relative level of variation from the mean or equation approximating the relationship in the data set. In a normal distribution
1 standard deviation left or right of the mean = 68.2% of the data
2 standard deviations left or right of the mean = 95.4% of the data
3 standard deviations left or right of the mean = 99.6% of the data
You're an idiot. It's standard deviation. Google that for your answer.
You cannot because the median of a distribution is not related to its standard deviation.
Can someone help me find the answer for a sample n=36 with a population mean of of 76 and a mean of 79.4 with a standard deviation of 18?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
It is mean + 2*standard deviation.
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
we calculate standard deviation to find the avg of the difference of all values from mean.,
No, you have it backwards, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the variance is the standard deviation squared. Usually you find the variance first, as it is the average sum of squares of the distribution, and then find the standard deviation by squaring it.
A z-score cannot help calculate standard deviation. In fact the very point of z-scores is to remove any contribution from the mean or standard deviation.

A standard deviation calculator allows the user to find the mean spread away from the mean in a statistical environment. Most users needing to find the standard deviation are in the statistics field. Usually, the data set will be given and must be typed into the calculator. The standard deviation calculator will then give the standard deviation of the data. In order to find the variance of the data, simply square the answer.
If the population standard deviation is sigma, then the estimate for the sample standard error for a sample of size n, is s = sigma*sqrt[n/(n-1)]
Standard deviation calculation is somewhat difficult.Please refer to the site below for more info
Look at the Wikipedia article on "Standard deviation" - it includes an example right at the beginning.
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
Standard deviations are measures of data distributions. Therefore, a single number cannot have meaningful standard deviation.
