To find out the mean, you have to add all the numbers up and then divide it by the amount of numbers there are. To find the standard deviation, you need to find the variance. To find the variance, you need to find the difference of the data from the mean. The difference will then be squared. You add up all of the squared numbers, and divide it by the amount of data sets there are. The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance.

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

can you please show how, ill understand better like that then reading.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

pick one

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

stop being lazy

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

go report me then

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

enough spoon feeding lazy kids

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

For example, for the mean (for class A), you add up all the test results. Then you add those all up. You have to then divide the sum by the amount of data sets there are.

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

please show how @calculusxy

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

LAUGHING OUT LOUD wowwww

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

So we have all those numbers underneath Class A. So then you add the numbers all up. You got that straight?

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

ya

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Since there are fifteen numbers (aka fifteen test results from the class) you divide the sum by fifteen. That will be your mean for class A.

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

wait my bad

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

mean = 79 for Class A mean = 85.133 for Class B

OpenStudy (oleg3321):

correct?
