1	Add up all the values. Sum	69
13	Add up all these squared values. Sum of Squares	861
14	Subtract Sum of Squares - Avg. Sum Squared	180. How do we calculate variance? How to Calculate Variance Find the mean of the data set. Add all data values and divide by the sample size n. Find the squared difference from the mean for each data value. Subtract the mean from each data value and square the result. Find the sum of all the squared differences. ... Calculate the variance. Which of these is a merit of standard deviation? Answer. Advantages of Standard Deviation: The standard deviation is the best measure of variation. It is based on every item of the distribution. You can do algebraic operation and is less affected by fluctuations of sampling than most other measures of dispersion. What is difference between mean deviation and standard deviation? The difference between the two norms is that the standard deviation is calculating the square of the difference whereas the mean absolute deviation is only looking at the absolute difference. Hence large outliers will create a higher dispersion when using the standard deviation instead of the other method. Why mean deviation is used? Mean deviation can give us a sense of how much data is dispersed from one of the average measurements (mean,mode,median). Mean deviation depends on the difference between the data and the average measurement. ... Rather it is completely controlled by the data differences from the average value. What is the meaning of deviation in statistics? In mathematics and statistics, deviation is a measure of difference between the observed value of a variable and some other value, often that variable's mean. The sign of the deviation reports the direction of that difference (the deviation is positive when the observed value exceeds the reference value).
