The standard deviation formula may look confusing, but it will make sense after we break it down. In the coming sections, we'll walk through a step-by-step interactive example.

A z-score is considered unusual if it falls beyond a certain threshold, typically around ±2 standard deviations from the mean. However, the exact definition of "unusual" may vary depending on the …

The numerator right over here's gonna tell you how far you are above or below the mean, but you wanna know how many standard deviations you are from the mean, so then you'll divide by the population …

Standard Deviation is used to show the variation of the dataset because it provides a measure of how much the data points deviate from the mean, taking into account both the direction and magnitude of …

We determine the correlation coefficient for bivariate data, which helps understand the relationship between variables. We then build the equation for the least squares line, using standard deviations …

We could take the square root of both sides of this and say, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is often called the standard deviation of the mean, and it's also called …

Sal shows an example of calculating standard deviation and bias. Created by Sal Khan.

Calculating the standard deviation of residuals (or root-mean-square error (RMSD) or root-mean-square deviation (RMSD)) to measure disagreement between a linear regression model and a set of data.

A large sample of females had their systolic blood pressure measured. The mean blood pressure was 125 millimeters of mercury and the standard deviation was 10 millimeters of mercury. Which normal …
