List of Statistical Formulae

This document contains a list of statistical formulae for: 1) Calculating the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of a data set. 2) Finding the quartile deviation to measure variability. 3) Computing different coefficients of skewness. 4) Determining the product moment correlation coefficient and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to measure the relationship between two variables. 5) Estimating the regression line to predict the value of one variable from another.
