Statistics: Standard Deviation and Outliers

Does standard deviation work for non-symmetrical distributions, and what does it mean? Through the use of examples, high schoolers determine the standard deviation of a variety of distributions and interpret its...

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...

What if math teachers are really pirates and they want us to find x so they can get the buried treasure? A short video explains how to calculate standard deviation and variance with a step-by-step guided practice problem. The...

It's getting hot out there! The last installment of an 11-part Math in Science video series, standard deviation and normal distributions to analyze data. Viewers learn how to apply this method to temperature data from past decades to...

Good news! We only have a half day of school this morning. Granted, we have the other half this afternoon. The video is a visual representation of the definitions of mean and standard deviation. 

Deviation is normal in the world of statistics. Viewers first learn about the normal distribution curve in an informative video. They then watch as the narrator calculates standard deviation by hand and using spreadsheets.

Find the standard deviation of a set of integers. Using the formula to find the standard deviation, the instructor shows you how to apply the formula to a small set of integers.

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,...

Video reviews the population and sample mean and variance then expands to population and sample standard deviation. Gives examples of calculating the standard deviation. [13:07]

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.
