What is the Standard deviation of a set of data in which all the data values are the same?
Zero
Details:
The "Standard Deviation" for ungrouped data can be calculated in the following steps:
- all the deviations (differences) from the arithmetic mean of the set of numbers are squared;
- the arithmetic mean of these squares is then calculated;
- the square root of the mean is the standard deviation
Accordingly,
- The arithmetic mean of set of data of equal values is the value.All the deviations will be zero and their squares will be zeros
- The mean of squares is zero
- The square root of zero is zero which equals the standard deion
What else can I help you with?
What is the standard deviation of a set data in which all the data values are the same?
It is 0.
What is the relationship between standard deviation and variance for the same sample data?
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
Can a standard deviation be 0?
Yes. For this to happen, the values would all have to be the same.
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.
What is the relationship between the mean and standard deviation in statistics?
The 'standard deviation' in statistics or probability is a measure of how spread out the numbers are. It mathematical terms, it is the square root of the mean of the squared deviations of all the numbers in the data set from the mean of that set. It is approximately equal to the average deviation from the mean. If you have a set of values with low standard deviation, it means that in general, most of the values are close to the mean. A high standard deviation means that the values in general, differ a lot from the mean. The variance is the standard deviation squared. That is to say, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. To calculate the variance, we simply take each number in the set and subtract it from the mean. Next square that value and do the same for each number in the set. Lastly, take the mean of all the squares. The mean of the squared deviation from the mean is the variance. The square root of the variance is the standard deviation. If you take the following data series for example, the mean for all of them is '3'. 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 all the values are 3, they're the same as the mean. The standard deviation is zero. This is because the difference from the mean is zero in each case, and after squaring and then taking the mean, the variance is zero. Last, the square root of zero is zero so the standard deviation is zero. Of note is that since you are squaring the deviations from the mean, the variance and hence the standard deviation can never be negative. 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5 - most of the values are the same as the mean. This has a low standard deviation. In this case, the standard deviation is very small since most of the difference from the mean are small. 1, 1, 1, 5, 5, 5 - all the values are two higher or two lower than the mean. This series has the highest standard deviation.
What is the standard deviation of a set data in which all the data values are the same?
It is 0.
Is it true that the standard deviation can equal zero in a data set?
The standard deviation is a measure of how much variation there is in a data set. It can be zero only if all the values are exactly the same - no variation.
What are the units of measurement of standard deviation?
Standard deviation has the same unit as the data set unit.
What does a standard deviation of 0 tell you?
The smaller the standard deviation, the closer together the data is. A standard deviation of 0 tells you that every number is the same.
Is it possible for the standard deviation of a set of data to be zero Explain.?
Yes. It all the observed values are exactly the same then the SD will be 0.
What is the relationship between standard deviation and variance for the same sample data?
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
Can a standard deviation be 0?
Yes. For this to happen, the values would all have to be the same.
What determines the standard deviation to be high?
Standard deviation is a measure of the scatter or dispersion of the data. Two sets of data can have the same mean, but different standard deviations. The dataset with the higher standard deviation will generally have values that are more scattered. We generally look at the standard deviation in relation to the mean. If the standard deviation is much smaller than the mean, we may consider that the data has low dipersion. If the standard deviation is much higher than the mean, it may indicate the dataset has high dispersion A second cause is an outlier, a value that is very different from the data. Sometimes it is a mistake. I will give you an example. Suppose I am measuring people's height, and I record all data in meters, except on height which I record in millimeters- 1000 times higher. This may cause an erroneous mean and standard deviation to be calculated.
If the standard deviation of a group of data is the same are the results reliable?
It depends on WHAT the sd is the same as.
What would it mean if a standard deviation was calculated to equal 0?
A standard deviation of zero means that all the data points are the same value.
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.
Is standard deviation same as standard error?
From what ive gathered standard error is how relative to the population some data is, such as how relative an answer is to men or to women. The lower the standard error the more meaningful to the population the data is. Standard deviation is how different sets of data vary between each other, sort of like the mean. * * * * * Not true! Standard deviation is a property of the whole population or distribution. Standard error applies to a sample taken from the population and is an estimate for the standard deviation.
