Standard Deviation Calculator

Our online standard deviation calculator determines the standard deviation, mean, variance, sum, coefficient of variance, statistical population, and error margin of the given set of data. Our sd calculator makes your calculations fast and gives accurate results.

What Is the Standard Deviation?

“Standard deviation is the measurement of the variation between the given group or set of values.” 

• The lower standard deviation shows the values are closer to the mean of the set. 
• A high standard deviation indicates that values are spread in the wider range. 

Formula of Standard Deviation:

Our mean and standard deviation calculator online makes standard deviation calculations fast and accurate by using teh following equation:

$$ s = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{N – 1} \sum_{i=1}^N\left(x_{i} – \bar{x}\right)^2} $$

Population standard deviation formula is:

$$ σ = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N\left(x_{i} – μ\right)^2} $$

Where

• σ is the population standard deviation
• xi is each value in the set of the data 
• µ is the average mean value 
• N is the total number of values 

How To Calculate Standard Deviation?

In order to understand how to find standard deviation of the mean, take a look at the example below. 

Example:

The math test scores of different students are 51, 49, 45, 91, and 97. How to calculate standard deviation?

Solution:

To find the standard deviation of the given class, we will find this with the help of the Sample standard deviation calculator formula:

$$ SD = σ = \sqrt\frac{\sum(x-µ)^2}{N} $$

µ = 51+49+45+91+94/5

µ = 330/5

µ = 66                                     

Finding standard deviation from mean:

SD = σ = 2395/5

SD = σ = 48.94

FAQs:

What Does The Standard Deviation Depend On?

The standard deviation of the data is independent of any change in origin, but it depends on the change in the scale.

What Reduces The Standard Deviation?

The standard deviation is inversely proportional to the mean of the sampling distribution. The standard deviation decreases as the sample size used to calculate the mean for sampling distribution increases.
