k Determining Sample Standard Deviation, Unbiased Variance,
Population Standard Deviation, and Population Variance from List Data
You can use functions to determine sample standard deviation, unbiased variance, population
standard deviation, and population variance for specified list data. This calculation is
performed in the Run-Matrix mode. You can perform calculations using data you saved to a
list (List 1 to List 26) with the Statistics mode List Editor or list data you input directly on the
Run-Matrix mode screen.
Syntax StdDev(List
n [,List m]) StdDev_σ(List n [,List m])
Variance(List
n [,List m]) Variance_σ

determine sample standard deviation, unbiased variance, population
standard deviation, and population variance
