Average and sample standard deviation for Benjamin's marks as well as
those of his friends?
[MODE] 2
[SHIFT][CLR] 1 [=]
8 [DT]
9 [.] 5 [DT]
10 [DT] [DT]
or 10 [SHIFT] [;] 2 [DT]
And so on and so forth:
10 [.]5 [DT]
11 [DT]
13 [DT]
13[.]5 [DT]
14 [.]5 [DT]
15 [DT]
We display n and check that the number displayed corresponds to the
number of values inputted:
[SHIFT][S-SUM] 3 [=] -> n | 10.
[SHIFT] [S-VAR] 1 [=] -> x | 11.5
Their average is 11,5.
[SHIFT] [S-VAR] 3 [=] -> x n-1 | 2.34520788 thus the standard deviation.
If we wish to calculate the variance, we press
[x  ][=] -> Ans2
We take up the same experience with the maths exam in which the students
obtained the following notes:
student A
marks 4
[SHIFT][CLR] 1 [=]
To check:
[SHIFT][S-SUM] 3 [=] -> n | 0.
Beginning of data entry :
4 [DT]
...
And so on, up to 18 [DT]
[SHIFT][S-SUM] 3 [=] -> n | 10.
[SHIFT] [S-VAR] 1 [=] -> x | 11.5
Their average is also 11,5.
[SHIFT] [S-VAR] 3 [=] -> x n-1 | 5.088112507 thus the standard deviation.
