INTRODUCTION:
The measure of dispersion known as measure the scatteredness of the values that is how
are the data spread about an average values.
There are two methods of measuring dispersion
1. Methods of limits
Range
Inter – quartile range
Percentile range
2. Methods of averaging deviation
Quartile
Mean deviation
Standard deviation
DEFINITION:
The standard deviation is the positive square root of the arithmetic mean of the squared
deviations of various values from their arithmetic mean.
The standard deviation is denoted by ??????.
The square of the standard deviation is called variance and is denoted by ??????
2
.
The positive root of the variance is called standard deviation.
METHODS OF CALCULATING STANDARD DEVIATION:
There are four methods of calculating standard deviation
1. Direct method
2. Shortcut method
3. Squares of values method
4. Step deviation method.
There are three series
1. Individual series
2. Discrete series
3. Grouped series.
IN CASE OF INDIVIDUAL SERIES
1. DIRECT METHOD:
?????? = √∑
??????2
??????
Where, d
2
= square of the deviation arithmetic mean
N = No. Of observation.
2. SHORTCUT METHOD:
Condition: When x is not a whole number, then we use this method.
where , i = common factor
ds = step deviation
N = no. Of observation
CO- EFFICIENT OF STANDARD DEVIATION:
To compare the dispersion between two or more series.
It is denoted by σ ⁄ X
In general σ / X
× 100 is also known as coefficient of variation.
According to karl pearson , ‘coefficient of variation is the percentage variation in the
mean, the standard deviation being as the total variation in mean.
MERITS OF STANDARD DEVIATION :
1.Standard deviation is rigidly defined.
2.It is based in all observation .
3. It is not much affected by sampling fluctuation.
4.It is capable of further algebraic treatment .
5.It has a definite relationship with others measures of dispersion.
DEMERITS OF STANDARD DEVIATION.
1.It is difficult to calculate .
2.It gives greater weight to extreme values.
3.Its impossible to find it exactly in case of open end classes .
USES OF STANDARD DEVIATION.
1. It is widely used in statistics values.
2. It is used to measure the greater stability.
3. Standard deviation plays a greater role in sampling theory , co relation and
regression theory etc.
4. It is powerful measure of dispersion as ,mean is of central tendency.
CONCLUSION .
It is an improvement of mean deviation.
Statistical programmes widely use standard deviation for calculation
In excel , the standard deviation can be calculated using the equation = STDEV (
RANGE OF CELL) / SQRET ( NUMBER OF SAMPLE).
