Objectives

On completion of this period would be able to :

Calculate SD - Discrete series

Step deviation method

CCP303.70 2
Recap

Calculation of Standard deviation

 From Actual
 From Assumed Mean

CCP303.70 3
Calculation of Standard deviation discrete
Series- Step Deviation Method

Steps:
2. Take the deviations from an assumed mean - d
3. Divide deviations by a common factor C - Dx ( d/c)
4. Multiple deviations with respective frequencies and
obtain total - ∑fdx
2
5. Square the deviations - dx
6. Multiply these deviations with their frequencies and
obtain total is -  fdx 2
7. Apply the formula

Solution Contd

σ = √ Ʃfdx2 /N- (Ʃfdx’ / N)2 x c

Ʃfdx2 =240, Ʃfdx’=20, N=100, C=10

σ= √240/100-(20/100)2 x 10

= √2.4-0.04 x 10

= √2.36 x 10

= √15.36
