<p>For standard deviation on page 6: 1) Find the mean (arithmetic average) of all the data.
2) Subtract the mean from each data. 3) Square that difference. 4) Add up all the squares. 5) Divide that number by the number of differences -1. 6) Take the square root of that number.</p>

<p>Ex: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 1) (1+2+3+4+5)/5 = 3 2) {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2} 3) {4, 2, 0, 2, 4} 4) (4+2+0+2+4) = 12 5) 12/(5-1) = 12/(4) = 3 6) sqrt(3)</p>
