Standard Deviation

Cornell Notes pages 124-125

​Essential Question: How can I describe the spread of a data set?

​Notes: on page 124

Standard Deviation : describes the spread of the data.

Standard Deviation also describes the variation(difference) of the data.

 

 

The higher the spread, the higher the standard deviation, the more

variability.

 

 

The lower the spread the data, the lower the standard deviation, the

less variability.
