The population standard deviation σ of a discrete random variable ‚ Measure how close a random variable tends to be the population mean μ‚ so you must understand μ before you understand σ If you have a random variable like a bet at a casino or and investment then the standard deviation σ measure the risk‚ if there is a lot of risk then the standard deviation is high The formulas for standard deviation are given below but you should look at the examples first Population mean Population variance

Mean and Standard Deviation The mean‚ indicated by μ (a lower case Greek mu)‚ is the statistician ’s jargon for the average value of a signal. It is found just as you would expect: add all of the samples together‚ and divide by N. It looks like this in mathematical form: In words‚ sum the values in the signal‚ xi‚ by letting the index‚ i‚ run from 0 to N-1. Then finish the calculation by dividing the sum by N. This is identical to the equation: μ =(x0 + x1 + x2 + ... + xN-1)/N. If you are not

62.499 + (-0.347) x. This least squares line indicates that the estimated mean work-life balance score decreases by -0.347 average number of hours per week. Next‚ we have to interpret the random error component ( ) of the least squares line. The estimate of error standard deviation for this particular data set is 12.28455 which suggests that the work-life balance score (y) values should be two times of the standard deviation. This can be best expressed as in the equation of 2s = 2(12.28455) which
