Stdev P Vs Stdev S. The standard deviation is calculated using the n 1 method. Stdevpa interprets true as the value 1 and interprets false as the value 0.
If your data represents the entire population then compute the standard deviation using stdev p. Stdevpa interprets true as the value 1 and interprets false as the value 0. I read that the difference between the population standard deviation and sample is the stdevp function evaluates a population and the stdev function evaluates a population sample.
Stdev will divide by n.
Arguments can either be numbers or names arrays or references that contain numbers. It interprets a text string as the value 0. If your sample size is n. Stdevpa interprets true as the value 1 and interprets false as the value 0.
