Stdev. Standard deviation in statistics typically denoted by σ is a measure of variation or dispersion refers to a distribution s extent of stretching or squeezing between values in a set of data. This function calculates the sample standard deviation as well.
Number1 required argument this is the first number argument that corresponds to a sample of a population. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean also called the expected value of the set while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range. For more information see deterministic and nondeterministic functions.
Standard deviation may be abbreviated sd and is most commonly.
Standard deviation in statistics typically denoted by σ is a measure of variation or dispersion refers to a distribution s extent of stretching or squeezing between values in a set of data. In statistics the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. Number1 required argument this is the first number argument that corresponds to a sample of a population. Since the formula for the population standard deviation divides by n instead of n 1 the population standard deviation will always be smaller than the sample standard deviation.
