Standard deviation is denoted by a symbol of Greek letter (s) and is shows how much variation exists from the mean or average or expected value. If the standard deviation is low, that will indicate that the point tents to very close to the mean, whereas standard deviation is high, the data points are spread out over a large range of values. Standard deviation has very useful important properties such as unlike variance and is expressed in the same units as the data. Mean standard deviation is mainly used in the statistic conclusion to measure confidence. Also used to find how set of data spread out.
Standard deviation (s) is the square root of its variance (s2), which is the average of the squared difference from the average of the mean. Mean (µ) is simple average value of given set of data.
For example just take different height of dogs, find out mean, variance, and standard deviation.
Height of dogs = 700mm, 570mm, 180mm, 530mm, 400mm
To find the mean
Mean = 700+570+180+530+400/5
= 2380/5 = 476
The mean or average height of the dog is 476mm.
Then to calculate the variance first subtracts the value of mean from the every height of the dog and then square the resulting values. Add the sum of squared values and divide with total number of dogs, resulting value gives the variance.
Variance = (700-476)2 + (570-476)2+ (180-476)2 + (530-476)2 + (400-476)2 / 5
= 50176+8836+87616+2916+5776 / 5
= 155320/5 = 31064
The square root of the variance gives the standard deviation for the height of the dogs.
Standard deviation (s) = vvariance
= v31064
= 176.24 mm
Finding the standard deviation for population and sample, following formulas are used,
Standard deviation for population (s) = v(1/n ?_(i=1)^n¦(xi- µ)2)
Standard deviation for sample (s) = v(1/(n-1) ?_(i=1)^n¦(xi- " " )2)
Where,
µ, - mean
When we have n value of data, if we are calculating variance, we should divide by n for the population and divided by n-1 for a sample. Standard deviation is used to measure the investment volatility, in finance. It is also called as historical volatility.
Mean and Standard Deviation
Mean and standard deviation is mainly used to find the center of the data set. Mean is defined as; it is the simple average value of the given data set and is represented by a symbol of Greek letter (µ).
Mean for population (µ) = 1/n ?_(i=0)^(n-1)¦xi
Mean for sample ( ) = 1/n ?_(i=1)^n¦x
Where,
n - Size of the sample or number of item in the sample
x, xi - Observed value or set of value
Finding Standard Deviation
Finding standard deviation the following steps should be followed.
First calculate the mean of given set of data by sum of given data divided by total number of data.
Then subtract the mean from each observed value.
Square the each difference and then add all the squared values to get their total sum. The resulting value divided by one less then the number of data in the data set.
The resulting value gives the variance.
Finally standard deviation can get from square root of the variance.

Find standard deviation for the list of numbers, 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 8
Mean (µ) = 1+3+4+6+9+8/6
= 5.16
Variance (s2) = (1-5.16)2 + (3-5.16)2 + (4-5.16)2 + (6-5.16)2 + (9-5.16)2 + (8-5.16)2 / ( 6 – 1)
= 17.31+4.66+1.35+0.71+8.07+14.75 / 5
= 46.85 / 5 = 9.37
Variance (s2) is 9.37
We know that standard deviation is the square root of the variance
So the standard deviation (s) = vs2
= v9.37
s = 7.81
Standard deviation (s) is the square root of its variance (s2), which is the average of the squared difference from the average of the mean. Mean (µ) is simple average value of given set of data.
