07 4-7 Standard deviation of a simple frequency distribution
- Work with columns x, f, fx and fx²: n = Σf, x̄ = Σfx/Σf, and σ² = Σfx²/Σf − (x̄)².
- Each squared deviation is weighted by its frequency: σ² = Σf(x − x̄)² / Σf — the two forms give the same result.
- Build the table fully before substituting; a single wrong fx² entry moves the final answer.
