Standard Deviation

A common measure of intelligence, IQ, is distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Let's now consider linear regressions of standard scores.

Standard deviation of the distribution

Sample standard deviation

It brings to mind a headline I saw recently,

STD is the standard deviation of the distribution.

Standard deviation of the normal distribution

We also applied it to 10,000 people. Our average loss in this case was 20 pounds.

This is just simple algebra. So here's the formulas for Z, that's from

That is to say, If I were to look at the salaries, there is a well defined mean of course.

It has to do with the fact that in a quadratic version of the error,

If there's one thing you want to take home from this class that is that as you get more data as a statistician, your confidence increases so your confidence interval shrinks, whereas of course more data doesn't change the standard deviation.

That means the standard score shrinks.

So how do we test that? Well, that's easy.

Standard deviation for the total population

We add those up we get 250 and now we divide by 5 to get back our 50.

Since Yi is just the individual observation Xi multiplied by 1.5, it's 1.5 times 9, which is 13.5.

And that is not a bad thing, in itself.

Standard deviation of the standard logarithmic distribution

And I'll just call this, what's the probability that I land between 1 standard deviation the mean is minus 5 one standard deviation below the mean is minus 15 and one standard deviation above the mean is 10 plus minus 5 is 5.

To see this, recall that as you just discovered b is equal to r times times the standard deviation of y over the standard deviation of x.

Here is now finally the revelation.

If I go to my output for 100 steps, I find that the y value is between 0.7 and 0.9.

It is equal to the square root of the sum of the deviations in the y's over the deviations of the x's.

The mean is simply multiplied by 1.5, and that is 7.5.

We said it's 1, and so because it's not 1 it must be less than that.

It just moved over to the right by 5. If I were to try to make the standard deviation smaller we'll see that the whole thing just gets a little bit tighter.

If you have Tourette's you say bad words ?

Here we have children dropping out of high school.

So, we have the some of the squares and we have the cross products.

And finally, this is the inverse of the standard score z that I've told you.

But after we take the square root, it only gets bigger by 1.5 since the square root of 1.5 squared is equal to 1.5.

It looks like it's like 80 something percent, maybe 90 percent roughly.

And sometimes it's easier to think in terms of sigma.

Expressed through standard deviation Values given over accidental errors.

See, I'd been guilty all this time of what's termed 'speciesism'.

And if we want to take it to the next level and figure out the standard deviation, the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance, which is equal to the square root of p times 1 minus p.

Let me contrast to this with a concept that we encountered previously, which is the standard deviation.
