Sigma
s is the sample standard deviation. it is computed by taking the square root of: sum(x-mean)2/n-1
It is the lower case Greek letter sigma. I cannot show it here because this browser converts it to the Roman letter s, but the Greek one looks like an o with a tilde attached to its top.
The Symbol p that denotes sample proportion.
N is neither the sample or population mean. The letter N represents the population size while the small case letter n represents sample size. The symbol of sample mean is x̄ ,while the symbol for population mean is µ.
The symbol for standard deviation is sigma , σ.
No. But they are related. If a sample of size n is taken, a standard deviation can be calculated. This is usually denoted as "s" however some textbooks will use the symbol, sigma. The standard deviation of a sample is usually used to estimate the standard deviation of the population. In this case, we use n-1 in the denomimator of the equation. The variance of the sample is the square of the sample's standard deviation. In many textbooks it is denoted as s2. In denoting the standard deviation and variance of populations, the symbols sigma and sigma2 should be used. One last note. We use standard deviations in describing uncertainty as it's easier to understand. If our measurements are in days, then the standard deviation will also be in days. The variance will be in units of days2.
Sigma
The symbol for standard deviation is pronounced as "sigma" in statistics. It is represented by the Greek letter σ. In mathematical and statistical contexts, σ is commonly used to denote the standard deviation of a population or a sample.
A lower case s is the symbol.
σ sigma
s is the sample standard deviation. it is computed by taking the square root of: sum(x-mean)2/n-1
It is the lower case Greek sigma.
there is no symbol for it.
== == A random sample of 15 observations from the first population revealed a sample mean of 350 and a sample standard deviation of 12. A random sample of 17 observations from the second population revealed a sample mean of 342 and a sample standard deviation of 15. At the .10 significance level, is there a difference in the population means? ***Please show all the steps and work you used to conclude an answer and explain it as you would to a simpleton.

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.
