| | + | ==Description== |
| | + | *This function gives the standard deviation based on a given sample including the logical value and text. |
| | + | *Standard deviation is a quantity expressing by how much the members of a group differ from the mean value for the group. |
| | + | *It is the used as a measure of the dispersion or variation in a distribution. |
| | + | *It is calculated as the square root of variance. |
| | + | *In <math>STDEVA(n1,n2,n3...), n1,n2,n3...</math>, are numbers to find the standard deviation. |
| | + | *Here <math> n1 ,</math> is required. <math> n2,n3,..</math> are optional. |
| | + | *Instead of numbers we can use the single array or a reference of a array. |
| | + | *<math> STDEVA </math> is defined by the formula: S.D= sqrt(summation(x-x(bar))^2/(n-1), where x(bar) is the sample mean of x and n is the total numbers in the given data. |
| | + | *It is calculated using "n-1" method. |
| | + | *This function is considering our given data is the sample of the population. |
| | + | *Suppose it should consider the data as the entire population, we can use the STDEVPA function. |
| | + | *The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array,constants or references that contain numbers. |
| | + | *Also we can give the text representations of numbers or logical values , like TRUE or FALSE, in a rference. |
| | + | *Suppose the arguments containing TRUE which is eveluate as 1, and the arguments containing FALSE which is evaluate as 0. |
| | + | *Suppose the array contains the empty cells and text values like that values are not considered. |
| | + | *Suppose the function don't want to consider the logical values and text representations of numbers in a reference , we can use the STDEV function. |
| | + | *This function will return the result as error when |
| | + | 1. Any one of the argument is nonnumeric. |
| | + | 2. The arguments containing the error values or text that cannot be translated in to numbers. |
