Standard Deviation, s Standard Deviation: A statistical measure of spread or variability. Computed as the root mean square (RMS) deviation of the values from their arithmetic mean. Variance: The square of the standard deviation. STDEV, sample of a larger population STDEVP, entire population

(X,Y) Data QF: Types of Errors Systematic error: All numbers in the sample will be too high! The precise function was y = x2 The sample data were computed with: y = [x+0.3*RAND()]2 The x-values were assumed to be error-free The fitted function was: y = 0.9937x2+ 0.3459x The STDEV of the y-values is 0.62 Systematic error: There should not be a linear term. This is were you notice the systematic error made (on purpose) in the sample data generation!
