Standard Deviation (continued) L.O.: To find the mean and standard deviation from a frequency table. The formula for the standard deviation of a set of data is [pic] Recap question A sample of 60 matchboxes gave the following results for the variable x (the number of matches in a box): [pic]. Calculate the mean and standard deviation for x. Introductory example for finding the mean and standard deviation for a table: The table shows the number of children living

Essay 3 This essay provides an analysis of the variables‚ statistical tests and methods used in the assigned research paper. The level of significance and the strengths and limitations of the data collection process were also reviewed. This study had several variables. One major independent variable is the qualitative questionnaire that was verbally given. In this scenario the dependent variable would be the measurement of the data that was collected. The process of a cause-effect relationship

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
