Measurements of the variable of interest will differ between subjects. As a result the outcome of an experiment may be different from what was expected. The psychologist will want to know whether that difference is purely the result of random variation between subjects or if it is due to some other factor. The standard deviation is a measure for determining how large a difference might be purely random.

If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
What is the relationship between standard deviation and variance?
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
What is the standard deviation of concrete?
Standard deviation is a statistical concept and not applicable to concrete.
Why we calculate standard deviation and quartile deviation?
we calculate standard deviation to find the avg of the difference of all values from mean.,
Can standard deviation be greater than mean?
Standard deviation can be greater than the mean.
What is standard deviation in psychology?
Standard deviation is a statistical measure. It may be used in psychology but is not restricted to that subject. It is a measure of the spread of the distribution of values of some attribute that is being measured.
When do you use the relative standard deviation instead of standard deviation?
Use %RSD when comparing the deviation for popolations with different means. Use SD to compare data with the same mean.
Why use standard deviation and not average deviation?
Because the average deviation will always be zero.
Why use the T score?
T-score is used when you don't have the population standard deviation and must use the sample standard deviation as a substitute.
How do you use standard deviation?
Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out a set of numbers are from each other. It has a variety of uses in statistics.
What are the assumptions of standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
What does the sample standard deviation best estimate?
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
Why does the effect-size calculation use standard deviation rather than standard error?
The goal is to disregard the influence of sample size. When calculating Cohen's d, we use the standard deviation in teh denominator, not the standard error.
How do you calculate sample standard deviation?
Here's how you do it in Excel: use the function =STDEV(<range with data>). That function calculates standard deviation for a sample.
What is standard deviation of 155.45?
The standard deviation is 0.
If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
Variance and standard deviation are one and the same thing?
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.
