Let’s see how to calculate standard deviation of an entire population in Python.
Standard deviation of population
To calculate standard deviation of an entire population we need to import statistics module.
Luckily there is dedicated function in statistics module to calculate standard deviation of an entire population.
import statistics as s
x = [1, 5, 7, 5, 43, 43, 8, 43, 6]
standard_deviation = s.pstdev(x)
print("Standard deviation of an entire population equals: " + str(round(standard_deviation, 2)))
