Let x denote the values of the variable in question.
Suppose there are n observations.
Let Sx = the sum of all the values.
then the mean of x, Mx = Sx/n
Let Sxx = the sum of all the squares of the values.
The Vx (= the variance of x) is Sxx - (Mx)^2
and sigma(x) = sqrt(Vx).
Therefore one sigma deviation, relative to the mean,
= Mx - sigma(x), Mx + sigma(x).

What is the symbol for population standard deviation?
Sigma
What symbol is used for the standard deviation when it is a sample statistic?
σ (sigma)
Is variance square of standard deviation?
Yes, the variance of a data set is the square of the standard deviation (sigma) of the set. This means that the variance is always a positive number, even though the data might have a negative sigma value.
Standard deviation is denoted by?
The letter s, or by sd. The Greek lower case sigma is also used.
When may the sampling distribution of x̅ be considered to be approximately normal?
the standard deviation of the population(sigma)/square root of sampling mean(n)
Is sigma the same thing as standard deviation?
The lower case sigma character (σ) represents standard deviation.
What is the symbol for standard deviation?
The symbol for standard deviation is sigma , σ.
How do you compute mean deviation?
You don't need to. The mean deviation is, by definition, zero.
Coefficient of Deviation?
Coefficient of deviation (CV) is a term used in statistics. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation (sigma) to the mean (mu). The formula for CV is CV=sigma/mu.
What area within one standard deviation between and mu and minus and sigma and and mu plus and sigma?
The answer will depend on the distribution of the variable.
What is the symbol for population standard deviation?
Sigma
How do i find sample standard deviation from population standard deviation?
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)]
Population standard deviation symbol?
σ sigma
Is the range used to compute the median or standard deviation?
Neither.
Difference between standard deviation and mean devition?
The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean. The standard deviation sigma of a probability distribution is defined as the square root of the variance sigma^2,
To what statistical quantity does the term sigma refer?
standard deviation
What symbol is used for the standard deviation when it is a sample statistic?
σ (sigma)
