Calculating the POPULATION Variance and Standard Deviation (Workseet)
This teach yourself worksheet explains how to calculate the POPULATION variance and standard deviation. Note: this worksheet uses a divisor of "n" which assumes you have data on every member of the population. If you only have a sample then use the divisor "n-1" instead.
Estimating the Mean from Grouped Data (Worksheet)
This teach yourself worksheet explains how to estimate the mean from a grouped frequency table. For example, in a survey you may have asked participants to indicate an age range rather than asking their actual age.
