The standard deviation (?, pronounced sigma) of a set of values is a measure of how much the set of values deviates from the average of the values. To calculate ? of a complete set of values (as opposed to a sampling),...
- Calculate the average of the set (the sum of the values divided by the quantity of the values).
- Calculate the difference between each value and the average calculated in step 1, then square the difference.
- Calculate the average of all the squares calculated in step 2.
- The standard deviation is the square root of the average calculated in step 3.

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)]
How do you find the standard deviation for data?
Standard deviation calculation is somewhat difficult.Please refer to the site below for more info
What are the assumptions of standard deviation?
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
How do you find highest standard deviation in given number?
Standard deviations are measures of data distributions. Therefore, a single number cannot have meaningful standard deviation.
Find the standard deviation for 44 46 33 10 50 27?
The deviation is 1694.
