3. Introduction to Standard Deviation
Range measures the spread of a set of data from low to high.
For example, yesterday we discussed the range of heights of an 8th grade class from 60 to 71 inches. The spread is from 60 to 71.
There are two other measures of spread. Today, we will focus on the first measure: ____________ ____________.
standard
deviation
Standard Deviation measures the spread of the data from the
mean. The larger the standard deviation, the more spread out the data is from the mean.
Example #1: Suppose you are given the following data set:
4, 6, 9, 6, 5.
Sketch a histogram of the data.

4. Frequency 4 3 2 1
data 4 5 6 7 8 9

5. There are 6 step to compute standard deviation:
 Step 1: Determine the mean. We will use the variable
(pronounced “x bar”) for the sample mean.
Frequency 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 8 9
n = ____ (the number of points) 5 4 6 9 6 5 30
= ____ 6 5 5
mean
Remember: standard deviation is the measure of spread from the mean.
data

6. Step 2: Determine the distance
each point is from the mean. We will use the variable x1 to represent each data. Here we have x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5.
Step 3: Square the
differences
(–2)2
4 – 6
= 4
= –2
6 – 6
= 0
(0)2
= 0
9 – 6
= 3
(3)2
= 9
6 – 6
= 0
(0)2
= 0
5 – 6
= –1
(–1)2
= 1
Sum = 0 (always)

7.  Step 4: Take the sum the squares of the differences.9 1 14
= ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ = _______
 Step 5: Divide the sum of the squares by n.
= ___ = ___ = ___
sum 14
2.8 5 5

8. Step 6: is called ___________ (the mean
of the squares of the differences). Take the square root of the
____________. The answer is called the standard deviation.
variance
variance
sigma
= ______ = ___
1.67
You may be asking yourself: “Okay, the answer is What does that mean?”
Be patient… 1.67 will make more sense by tomorrow.

9. Example #2: Find the standard deviation of the data set 4, 8, 2, 2.
 Step 1: Determine the mean.
n = ____ (the number of points) 4
= 4

10. Step 2: Determine the distance
each point is from the mean.
Step 3: Square the
differences
(0)2
4 – 4
= 0
= 0
8 – 4
= 4
(4)2
= 16
2 – 4
= –2
(–2)2
= 4
2 – 4
= –2
(–2)2
= 4
Sum = 0 (always)

11.  Step 4: Sum the squares of the differences.16
= ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ = _______ 4 4 24
 Step 5: Divide the sum of the squares by n.
= ___ = ___ = ___
sum 24 6 4 4
Step 6: Take the square root of the variance.
= ______ = ___

12. In the blank space on your worksheet, copy this formula.
Make it very large!!! We are going to identify all six steps in the formula for standard deviation. You must memorize the formula! 4 3 2 1 6 5
Complete the practice.

13. Practice:
Find the standard deviation for the data {10, 15, 14, 15, 11}. Clearly show all steps. 4 3
= 13 2 1
(10 – 13)2 =
(–3)2 = 9
(15 – 13)2 =
(2)2 = 4 6 5
(14 – 13)2 =
(1)2 = 1
(15 – 13)2 =
(2)2 = 4
(11 – 13)2 =
(–2)2 = 4
= 4.4
