What is the formula for average (Mean)
A. What’s the purpose of standard deviation
B. Can it be negative
C. When can standard deviation be 0
A. Standard deviation allows us to see how far apart individual values are from the mean
B. Standard deviation cannot be negative it must be 0 or greater
C. Standard deviation can only be 0, when all numbers on the list are the same i.e (7,7,7,7)
How can you :
- Increase Standard deviation
- Decrease Standard deviation
In a consecutive list, in order to find the value of a odd or even consecutive list, what would the increment be when finding (no of terms)
The increment for odd and even numbers must only be 2 only when it specifically tells the consecutive list is odd or even
What must the increment for a normal consecutive list be when you are finding the sum of list, and using the no of total terms formula in finding the increment
Increment must be 1 only unless stated a different number.
(Big - small)/1) - 1 = no of total terms in a normal consecutive list
How would you calculate standard deviation through formula?
Square the deviations first then do the rest
