Right, so i've sat down to get this part of my work sorted, and frankly i'm absolutely fucking clueless on what i'm doing :p

I've used the formula's/walkthroughs in the other thread i made and they helped a bit. Basically i need to find the SD for the following measured factors within a lab investigation;

Age
Height
Weight
Trunk Height
Heart beat (resting)
Systolic & Diastolic blood pressure.

The first value i got looked fairly normal for age at 1.55967. Don't ask me why it looked realistic, just from a maths pov it seems logical to be around 1 :p

From Height onwards the values seemed to go up quite a bit.

Can anyone explain what the value calculated actually indicates please? :mad:

Standard deviation measures the extent to which the observations you have vary around the mean observation. Small st. dev = more closely grouped around the mean.

St dev. is measured in the same units as the original variable so for age years etc.
