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

STANDARD DEVIATION The standard deviation is a popular measure of variability. It is used both as a separate entity and as a part of other analyses‚ such as computing confidence intervals and in hypothesis testing. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The population standard devia¬tion is denoted by σ. Like the variance‚ the standard deviation utilizes the sum of the squared deviations about the mean (SSx). It is computed by averaging these squared deviations (SSX/N) and
