Standard Deviation Question
Hi,
In what situations should you use the sample standard deviation equation and in what situations should you use the population standard deviation equation?
Thanks.

the standard deviation measures the spread of the data about the mean value. It is useful in comparing sets of data which may have the same mean but a different range. For example, the mean of the following two is the same: 15, 15, 15, 14, 16 and 2, 7, 14, 22, 30. However, the second is clearly more spread out. If a set has a low standard deviation, the values are not spread out too much.
