This is wonderful, thanks very much.

@yanivdar it is just n if it is the entire population or everything possibly involved, when it is saying n-1 that means it is a sample not the entire group
-
my teacher gave me the formula without n-1...just n. Which one is correct?

Is it fair to say that the variance at the end is squareoot(4.5) ?

@patrickJMT degrees of freedom.

@MoN1T0r It is a part of the summation i = 1 to n (1 is next to i and the n is on top of the sigma)
Very helpful. Why is it n-1 and not divided by n....:(

@tremerrion6 you use n-1 when taking a sample and you do not have the entire population. i forget the mathematical justification, but it makes the estimate more accurate.
