Standard Deviation

Standard Deviation

This section contains two Python programs designed to calculate the Standard deviation of a set of data points. Each program uses a different library for calculations.

Description

Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out the values of a dataset are. It calculates the average distance between each data point and the mean of the dataset. A higher Standard Deviation indicates a wider range of values, while a lower Standard Deviation indicates a more concentrated dataset. It is used to understand the variability and dispersion of data. more information

                |    The formula for (Standard Deviation) is as follows:    |           
                |                  σ = √(Σ(xi - μ)² / N)                    |     
                |          --->    σ = standard deviation                   |     
                |          --->    Σ = sum of                               |    
                |          --->    xi = individual data point               |     
                |          --->    μ = mean (average)                       |    
                |          --->    N = number of data points                |     
                |___________________________________________________________|

Usage

  1. Run the program.
  2. You will be prompted to enter a list of data, separated by spaces.
  3. Input the desired data points.
  4. The program will calculate and display the standard deviation.
  • Both programs are included in this repository, with separate files for each.
