Why would someone need a standard deviation calculator?

A standard deviation calculator allows the user to find the mean spread away from the mean in a statistical environment. Most users needing to find the standard deviation are in the statistics field. Usually, the data set will be given and must be typed into the calculator. The standard deviation calculator will then give the standard deviation of the data. In order to find the variance of the data, simply square the answer.


What is standard deviation used for?

Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data.


What is the standard deviation if all data points are different?

It depends on the data. The standard deviation takes account of each value, therefore it is necessary to know the values to find the sd.


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.


If the standard deviation is small the data is more dispersed?

No, if the standard deviation is small the data is less dispersed.


What does one standard deviation mean?

Standard deviation is a measure of variation from the mean of a data set. 1 standard deviation from the mean (which is usually + and - from mean) contains 68% of the data.


What does standard deviation help you find?

Standard deviation helps you identify the relative level of variation from the mean or equation approximating the relationship in the data set. In a normal distribution 1 standard deviation left or right of the mean = 68.2% of the data 2 standard deviations left or right of the mean = 95.4% of the data 3 standard deviations left or right of the mean = 99.6% of the data


Why do we need the standard deviation?

The standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data.


If quartile deviation is 24. find mean deviation and standard deviation?

Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.


Relation between mean and standard deviation?

Standard deviation is the variance from the mean of the data.


How do you calculate plus or minus one standard deviation?

To calculate plus or minus one standard deviation from a mean, first determine the mean (average) of your data set. Then calculate the standard deviation, which measures the dispersion of the data points around the mean. Once you have both values, you can find the range by adding and subtracting the standard deviation from the mean: the lower limit is the mean minus one standard deviation, and the upper limit is the mean plus one standard deviation. This range contains approximately 68% of the data in a normal distribution.


Does variance and standard deviation assume nominal data?

No. Variance and standard deviation are dependent on, but calculated irrespective of the data. You do, of course, have to have some variation, otherwise, the variance and standard deviation will be zero.
