Standard Deviation

Filed under Psychology Maths . Posted on

Here is the formula:

Σ x m 2 n 1

Where x is the value being worked out,
m is the mean of the data
n is the number of values.

The brackets after the Σ needs to be done for every single value, then added up.

For Example:

  1. 23 Some mean value = 12
  2. 24 Some mean value = 24
  3. 25 Some mean value = 36
  4. 26 Some mean value = 48
  5. 27 Some mean value = 60
  6. 28 Some mean value = 72
  7. 29 Some mean value = 84
  8. 30 Some mean value = 96
  9. 31 Some mean value = 108

And the total is 540

So, that then completes the top of the formula, then you complete and tada!

You should now have this done and ready to go ;)
