Standard Deviation
for Ungrouped and
Grouped Data
Module 4
Learning Outcome
 To compute for variance and standard deviation for ungrouped data.
 To compute for variance and standard deviation for grouped data.
Variance and Standard Deviation
 In probability theory and statistics, the variance formula measures
how far a set of numbers are spread out. It is a numerical value and
is used to indicate how widely individuals in a group vary. If individual
observations vary considerably from the group mean, the variance is
big and vice versa.
 Standard deviation is the most important tool for dispersion
measurement in a distribution. Technically, the standard deviation is
the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of deviations
of observations from their mean value.
 For ungrouped data:
 for variance for standard deviation
 For grouped data:
 for variance for standard deviation
