In statistics, the symbol ( S ) typically represents the sample standard deviation, which measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of sample data. It quantifies how much individual data points deviate from the sample mean. The formula for calculating ( S ) involves taking the square root of the variance, which itself is the average of the squared differences between each data point and the sample mean. This metric is crucial for understanding the spread of data in inferential statistics.
The symbol S on the periodic table stands for Sulfur.
Usually s means standard deviation of a sample.
s is the standard deviation of a sample. It is difficult to know what you are asking. I will note that there is a statistical programming language called S-Plus, see "Modern Applied Statistics with S-Plus, by Venables and Ripley. I also note that "s" is also used commonly in statistics as standard deviation of a sample. That's about all that comes to mind.
The symbol "S" on the periodic table of elements stands for Sulfur.
Whenever a playerâ??s batting average is calculated in baseball, statistics are being used. They are also used in other sports, such as basketball, football, and soccer.
In statistics, this is the symbol for the "Variance"
s is the sample standard deviation. it is computed by taking the square root of: sum(x-mean)2/n-1
n
HRs
It is r.

Since this is regarding statistics I assume you mean lower case sigma (σ) which, in statistics, is the symbol used for standard deviation, and σ2 is known as the variance.
