There are two formulas in determining standard devation
One goes like this
σ=√(ΣfXm^2)/n - X^2
And the other like this
S.D =√ NΣfXm^2 - (ΣfXm)^2 / N(N-1)
There is a table we have to solve for standard deviation
N=88 ΣfXm= 2553.8 ΣfXm^2= 80,121.25
First formula solution
80,121.25 / 88 = 910.46875
910.46875 - 842.3186983471074 = 68.15
Second formula solution
80,121.5 * 88 = 7,050,670
2553.8 ^2= 6,521,894.44
7,050,670 - 6521,894.44 = 528,775.56
528,775.56 / 7656 = 69.06
Why are the two solutions different? Is there something wrong?
