Standard deviation for a population. The 'n' should be upper-case according to my teacher. The only difference between this and the formula for a sample is the 'n' seen above would be 'n-1'.

Intro To Standard Deviation

Both variance and standard deviation are the most commonly used terms in probability theory and statistics to better describe the measures of spread around a data set. Both give numerical measures of the spread of

Use a t-value to find critical values when the population size is small or you don't know the standard deviation.

Image Source: Statistical Aid Variance is one of the best measures of dispersion which measure the difference of all observation from the center value of the observations. Population variance and standard deviation The average of the square of the deviations taken from mean is called variance. The population variance is generally denoted by σ2 and… Read More »Variance vs Standard Deviation

See a worked-out example that goes through the steps to find the sample standard deviation quickly.

The standard deviation formula along with an exercise that will show you how to use it to find the standard deviation

Here is how to gain cycle time predictability with normal Gaussian distribution chart. If you present the cycle time of the tasks that went through your board as a normal (Gaussian) distribution, you should have a bell shaped curve, known also as the Bell curve.
