What is the difference between standard error of mean and standard deviation of means?
Standard error of the mean (SEM) and standard deviation of the mean is the same thing. However, standard deviation is not the same as the SEM. To obtain SEM from the standard deviation, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.
What are the assumptions of standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
Why the standard deviation of set of data will always be greater than zero?
The standard deviation is always be equal or higher than zero. If my set of data is limited to whole numbers, all of which are equal, the standard deviation is 0. In all other situations, we first calculate the difference of each number from the average and then calculate the square of the difference. While the difference can be a negative, the square of the difference can not be. The square of the standard deviation has to be positive, since it is the sum of all positive numbers. If we calculate s2 = 4, then s can be -2 or +2. By convention, we take the positive root.
What is the square of the standard deviation called?
The square of the standard deviation is called the variance. That is because the standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance.
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
