What is the formula to calculate mean and standard deviation in math statistics

Mathematics

ScanSolve AI Answer

The formula for the mean (μ\mu) of a population is:

μ=∑i=1NxiN\mu = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N} x_i}{N}

where xix_i are the individual data points and NN is the total number of data points.

The formula for the sample mean (xˉ\bar{x}) is:

xˉ=∑i=1nxin\bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i}{n}

where xix_i are the individual data points and nn is the total number of data points in the sample.

The formula for the population standard deviation (σ\sigma) is:

σ=∑i=1N(xi−μ)2N\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N} (x_i - \mu)^2}{N}}

The formula for the sample standard deviation (ss) is:

s=∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2n−1s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2}{n-1}}
