This page demonstrates the practical application of standard deviation calculations through a real-world example involving milk prices across different shops.

Example: Fiona's milk price comparison across shops shows prices of 49p, 44p, 41p, 52p, 47p, and 43p.

Highlight: The calculation process involves:

  1. Finding the mean price 276/6=46p276/6 = 46p
  2. Calculating individual squared values
  3. Applying the standard deviation formula
  4. Rounding the final answer to two decimal places

Definition: The standard deviation formula used is: SD = √(Σx2−(Σx)2/n)/(n−1)(Σx² - (Σx)²/n)/(n-1)

Vocabulary: dp stands for decimal places, used when expressing the final answer with appropriate precision.

Page 1: Understanding Standard Deviation Basics

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of standard deviation and its calculation method. The content explains how two data sets can have identical means but different spreads, demonstrating the importance of standard deviation in statistical analysis.

Definition: Standard deviation measures the spread of data around the mean, providing insight into data distribution.

Example: Two datasets are presented: Dataset 1: 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17 mean=15,range=4mean = 15, range = 4 Dataset 2: 8, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24 mean=15,range=16mean = 15, range = 16

Highlight: The step-by-step process for calculating standard deviation includes:

  1. Organizing values in a table
  2. Calculating x²
  3. Finding Σx sumofallvaluessum of all values
  4. Determining Σx²
  5. Applying the standard deviation formula

Vocabulary: x² represents the square of each value, Σx represents the sum of all values, and n-1 represents the number of values minus one.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
