Add all of the measurements together and then divide that sum by the number of measurements to get the mean.

Example: (2,2,3,5,7,9). 2+2+3+5+7+9= 28. Then 28 divided by 6 (the number of terms) = 4.666 or 4 2/3

Assuming var is variance, simply square the standard deviation and the result is the variance.

Why do measurements have to be standard?

Standard measurements are rather like the standard meanings of the words that you and I are using to communicate with each other. If a word has a standard meaning, then when I use that word you will know what I mean. If I use a standard measurement, then I can tell other people what I have measured and they will know what the measurement means.


Coefficient of skewness and formula?

The coefficient of skewness is a measure of asymmetry in a statistical distribution. It indicates whether the data is skewed to the left, right, or is symmetric. The formula for calculating the coefficient of skewness is [(Mean - Mode) / Standard Deviation]. A positive value indicates right skew, a negative value indicates left skew, and a value of zero indicates a symmetric distribution.

What is the formula for a weighted standard deviation?

Arithmatic Mean


A population that consists of 500 observations has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 15 A sample of size 100 is taken at random from this population The standard error of the sample mean equa?

The formula for calculating the standard error (or some call it the standard deviation) is almost the same as for the population; except the denominator in the equation is n-1, not N (n = number in your sample, N = number in population). See the formulas in the related link.


Measurements that fall beyond three standard deviations from the mean?

I believe outliers is the best answer to this question. The previous answer was average, which is the mean.
