Standard Deviation Calculation

저자:Matthew Kushner

Standard deviation is another way to measure how spread out data values are. The simulator below has 12 points. Use it to answer the questions below and see how standard deviation is calculated.

Play with the points and move the position. The standard deviation is calculated below. Look at the "Variance" fraction. The first number on top related to the point A and the second to B. How?
