Mathematica(@mathemetica):Numbers rarely sit exactly at their average - the standard deviation formula shows the typical distance they stray from it. Population: σ = √[∑(xᵢ − μ)² / N] xᵢ = elements in population μ = population mean N = population size Sample: s = √[∑(xᵢ − x̄)² / (n − 1)] xᵢ = elements in sample x̄ = sample mean n = sample size The sample version is applied by bank risk analysts to measure day-to-day swings in currency exchange rates.
