Standard deviation calculator using mean and sample size

Q: How do you find the standard deviation when given the mean and sample size?

To find the standard deviation of the sample mean (σX̄), divide the population standard deviation (σ) by the square root of the sample size (n): σX̄ = σ/√n.

How do you calculate SD from mean and SEM?

The formula for the SD requires a few steps: First, take the square of the difference between each data point and the sample mean, finding the sum of those values. Next, divide that sum by the sample size minus one, which is the variance. Finally, take the square root of the variance to get the SD.

How do you calculate the standard deviation of a sampling distribution?

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means equals the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size.
