Standard deviation measures how spread out a data set is around its mean: a small value means the numbers cluster tightly near the average, a large one means they are widely scattered. This calculator computes both the sample standard deviation (dividing the sum of squared deviations by n − 1, Bessel’s correction) and the population standard deviation (dividing by n), and reports the variance, mean, range and the sum of squared deviations it used. Choose sample when your numbers are a subset drawn from a larger group, and population when they are the entire group.

The method has four steps: find the mean, subtract it from each value to get the deviations, square those deviations and add them up, then divide by n − 1 (sample) or n (population) and take the square root. The square root returns the answer to the same units as the original data, which is why standard deviation is usually preferred over variance for interpretation.

Worked example: for 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9 the mean is 5. The squared deviations sum to 32, so the population variance is 32 ÷ 8 = 4 and the population standard deviation is √4 = 2; the sample version divides 32 by 7, giving about 4.57 and a standard deviation of roughly 2.14. The deviation table below shows each value’s distance from the mean and its squared deviation so you can follow the calculation.
