A comprehensive guide to calculating mean and standard deviation in statistics, focusing on practical methods and real-world applications.

  • Learn the step-by-step process of how to find standard deviation of data set using mathematical formulas and tables
  • Understand how different data sets can share the same mean but have different spreads
  • Master solving examples of standard deviation in exam questions with detailed calculations
  • Explore the importance of standard deviation in measuring data dispersion
  • Practice with real-world scenarios involving price calculations and data analysis

This page demonstrates the practical application of standard deviation calculations through a real-world example involving milk prices across different shops.

Example: Fiona's milk price comparison across shops shows prices of 49p, 44p, 41p, 52p, 47p, and 43p.

Highlight: The calculation process involves:

  1. Finding the mean price (276/6 = 46p)
  2. Calculating individual squared values
  3. Applying the standard deviation formula
  4. Rounding the final answer to two decimal places

Definition: The standard deviation formula used is: SD = √[(Σx² - (Σx)²/n)/(n-1)]

Vocabulary: dp stands for decimal places, used when expressing the final answer with appropriate precision.

Page 1: Understanding Standard Deviation Basics

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of standard deviation and its calculation method. The content explains how two data sets can have identical means but different spreads, demonstrating the importance of standard deviation in statistical analysis.

Definition: Standard deviation measures the spread of data around the mean, providing insight into data distribution.

Example: Two datasets are presented: Dataset 1: 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17 (mean = 15, range = 4) Dataset 2: 8, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24 (mean = 15, range = 16)

Highlight: The step-by-step process for calculating standard deviation includes:

  1. Organizing values in a table
  2. Calculating x²
  3. Finding Σx (sum of all values)
  4. Determining Σx²
  5. Applying the standard deviation formula

Vocabulary: x² represents the square of each value, Σx represents the sum of all values, and n-1 represents the number of values minus one.
