How Standard Deviation Calculator works

Calculate standard deviation and variance for a number list.

Up to 1,000 values, separated by commas or whitespace. Repeated observations count separately. Finite real numbers only. Display uses up to 12 significant digits; binary floating-point arithmetic can introduce rounding. Sample mode requires at least two values; population mode divides by n and sample mode by n − 1.
