Statistics Calculator

Paste or type your data points: count, mean, sample standard deviation (Sx, n−1), population standard deviation (σx, n) and the sums — the DATA and STAT worksheets on one page.

Data points (line or space separated)

One-variable results

n =4
x̄ =5.00
Sx =2.58
σx =2.24
Σx =20.00
Σx² =120.00

Worked example (T13): 2, 4, 6, 8 → mean 5.00, sample Sx 2.58, population σx 2.24.

Worked example — Sx vs σx (T13)

Data 2, 4, 6, 8: mean 5.00, sample Sx 2.58 (2.581989), population σx 2.24 (2.236068). Same data, two denominators — Sx divides by n − 1, σx by n.

Frequently asked questions

Sx or σx — which is “the” standard deviation?

Sx treats your data as a sample (n − 1, unbiased); σx treats it as the whole population (n). Exams usually expect the sample statistic unless told otherwise.

How many points can I enter?

The form is unrestricted; the physical calculator’s DATA worksheet holds up to 80 one-variable points.
