STDEVP, which stands for “Standard Deviation of an Entire Population,” is a statistical function in Excel that helps you calculate the standard deviation of a given set of values. This value is useful for understanding how data points are spread out in a population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STDEVP(number1, [number2, …])<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To use the STDEVP function in Excel, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples to illustrate how to use the STDEVP function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This formula calculates the standard deviation of the values in cells A1 to A5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This formula calculates the standard deviation of two sets of values: one in cells B1 to B10 and the other in cells C1 to C10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that the STDEVP function is used when you want to calculate the standard deviation of an entire population. If you’re working with a sample from a larger population, you should use the STDEV.S function instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard deviation is a valuable statistic for understanding the spread or dispersion of data. It quantifies how much individual data points deviate from the mean (average) of the dataset. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider spread, while a lower standard deviation suggests that data points are closer to the mean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STDEVP, which stands for “Standard Deviation of an Entire Population,” is a statistical function in Excel that helps you calculate the standard deviation…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[180],"yoast_head":"\nArguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
