Standard Deviation and Variance
https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/standard-deviationAll other calculations stay the same, including how we calculated the mean. Example: if our 5 dogs are just a sample of a bigger population of dogs, we divide by 4 instead of 5 like this: Sample Variance = 108,520 / 4 = 27,130. Sample Standard Deviation = √27,130 = 165 (to the nearest mm) Think of it as a "correction" when your data is only a ...
Normal distribution - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distributionA normal distribution is a probability distribution used to model phenomena that have a default behaviour and cumulative possible deviations from that behaviour. For instance, a proficient archer's arrows are expected to land around the bull's eye of the target; however, due to aggregating imperfections in the archer's technique, most arrows will miss the bull's eye by …
