To find the standard deviation on a calculator, typically you need to:
- Switch the calculator to statistical mode (often pressing MODE and selecting the statistics option).
- Enter your data values one by one, usually pressing an equals button after each.
- Access the statistics or VARS function menu.
- Select the standard deviation option (sometimes represented as σ or s for population or sample standard deviation).
- The calculator will display the standard deviation value.
For example, on a Casio calculator, you press MODE → 2 (Statistics) → 1 (1-Variable statistics), input numbers pressing = between each, then use SHIFT
- 1 (STAT) → 4 (VAR) → 3 (standard deviation) to get the answer.
This procedure can vary slightly depending on the calculator model but generally follows these steps. Would a step-by-step guide for a specific calculator model be helpful?
