Standard Deviation
The Standard Deviation instruction determines the standard deviation of a
group of six digit values. The maximum number of values the instruction
can handle is 999 or is limited by the data table area available.
Standard deviation instruction uses the formula:
y
+
NJ
ȍ
(x
i
*
x
avg
)
2
n
Nj
1/2
where:
x
i
= the group of values whose standard deviation you want to
calculate
x
avg
= the arithmetic average of the group of values
n
= the number of values in the group
Entry and Display of Input and Result Values
Figure 16.13 shows one method you can use to enter values and display
results of the 6-digit standard deviation. Although there are several
techniques for accomplishing this, we chose Get instructions.

The first eight words after the result address are used for intermediate
calculation. The standard deviation ladder diagram is the same as the
ladder diagram for averaging with the exception already discussed. The
result address stores intermediate calculations in the first 8 words
(160-167) and the final result in the next 4 words (170-173, the implied
decimal point is after word 171). The done bit is 17015.
