STDEV()


  • Parameters are set of numbers.
    • STDEV(), estimates standard deviation based on a sample.

Description

  • This function gives the Standard Deviation based on a given sample.
  • Standard Deviation is the quantity expressed by, how many members of a group differ from the mean value of 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 , Parameters are set of numbers to find the Standard Deviation.
  • Here First parameter is required. From the second parameter are optional.
  • Instead of numbers, we can use the single array or a reference of a array.
  • is defined by the formula:

where is the sample mean of and is the total numbers of the given data.

  • It is calculated using 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 STDEVP function.
  • The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array,constants or references that contain numbers.
  • Suppose the array contains text,logical values or empty cells, like that values are not considered.
  • When we are entering logical values and text representations of numbers as directly, then the arguments are counted.
  • Suppose the function have to consider the logical values and text representations of numbers in a reference , we can use the STDEVA function.
  • This function will return the result as error when
     1. Any one of the argument is non-numeric. 
     2. The arguments containing the error values or text that cannot be translated in to numbers.
