The square root of the mean of the squares of individual deviations from the mean, in a "population" series; ... 3, record 1, English, - population%20standard%20deviation

The standard deviation of a finite population ... generally denoted by the Greek letter [sigma]. 1, record 1, English, - population%20standard%20deviation

In context, the population standard deviation is often referred to as simply "standard deviation". 6, record 1, English, - population%20standard%20deviation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
for "standard deviation" : A great deal of confusion has been introduced into statistical literature by the many different expressions which have been used for the standard deviation and the simple derivatives of it. (...) The term "standard deviation" is now almost universally accepted (...). "Mean error" (Gauss), "mean square error" and "error of mean square" (Airy) have all been used to denote the standard deviation. The standard deviation is not to be confused with "standard error". 2, record 1, English, - population%20standard%20deviation

«écart quadratique moyen» : Du point de vue sémantique, on pourrait croire qu'"écart quadratique moyen" est synonyme de "variance"; cependant, l'usage veut qu'"écart quadratique moyen" soit synonyme d'"écart-type" et que "variance" se définisse comme étant "l'écart quadratique élevé au carré". (Voir FEPRO, 1967, page 48). 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cart%2Dtype%20de%20la%20population
