STANDARD-DEVIATION
The STANDARD-DEVIATION function returns an approximation of the standard deviation of its arguments.
Syntax 1
function standard-deviation (arg-1[, arg2 ...,arg-n]) |
Syntax 2
$standard-deviation (arg-1[, arg2 ...,arg-n]) |
Arguments
• arg-1 can be either a numeric data item or literal. Other arguments, if any, must be of the same type.
Result
The function returns a number value that approximates the standard deviation of the passed arguments. If only arg-1 is passed or all the arguments have the same value, then the returned value is zero.
