Standard Deviation
https://statistics.laerd.com/statistical-guides/measures-of-spread-standard-deviation.php
The standard deviation is a measure of the spread of scores within a set of data. Usually, we are interested in the standard deviation of a population. However, as we are often presented with data from a sample only, we can estimate the population standard deviation from a sample standard deviation. These two standard deviations - sample and population standard deviations - are calculated differently. In statistics, we are usually presented with having to calculate sample standard deviations, and so this is what this article will focus on, although the formula for a population standard deviation will also be shown.
- Population standard deviation ()
- Sample standard deviation formula ()
Sometimes our data is only a sample of the whole population. In this case, we can still estimate the Standard deviation; but when we use a sample as an estimate of the whole population, the Standard deviation formula changes to this:
- The Standard Deviation is the square root of the variance.
- This measure is the most widely used to express deviation from the mean in a variable.
- The higher the value the more widely distributed are the variable data values around the mean.
- Assuming the frequency distributions approximately normal, about 68% of all observations are within +/- 1 standard deviation.
- Approximately 95% of all observations fall within two standard deviations of the mean (if data is normally distributed).
