Google for Education: Application and Modeling of Standard Deviation

Show scholars the importance of recognizing a normal curve within a set of data. Learners analyze normal curves and calculate mean and standard deviation.

Continuing his conversation about data sets from the previous video, Sal introduces range, variance, and standard deviation as means of dispersion. Those advancing in algebra or beginning a statistics class will benefit from Sal's clear...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Calculate the variance and standard deviation of a data set.

The first activity in this resource has learners computing the mean and standard deviation of two different data sets and drawing conclusions based on their results. The second activity has them using a dice-rolling simulation to...

This lesson demonstrates to students how to use standard deviation to better understand a set of data. Students use standard deviation to determine the general pattern or shape of a given set of data to draw more reliable conclusions.

If you've always wanted to know more about spreadsheets, here's a perfect resource for you. A self-paced tutorial introduces how to autofill and copy formulas in a Google sheet or Excel spreadsheet. It also shows users how to find range,...

Students learn how to calculate the standard deviation by hand. Detailed examples that explore how to use the standard deviation formula are included.

Calculating the standard deviation of residuals (or root-mean-square error (RMSD) or root-mean-square deviation (RMSD)) to measure disagreement between a linear regression model and a set of data.

Gain an understanding of standard deviation and normal distribution by viewing an example and a video lesson.

Does the size of the bin matter? The resource allows pupils to explore the relationship between the normal curve and histograms. Learners view histograms compared to a normal curve with a set standard deviation. Using the interactive,...
