The
standard
deviation
is
a
measure
of
how
dispersed
the
numbers
are
about
the
mean.
The
HP-20S
calculates
the
sample
standard
deviation,
which
assumes
the
data
is
a
sam-
pling
of
a
larger,
complete
set
of
data.
If
the
data
constitutes
the
entire
population
of
data,
the
true
population,
refer
to
page
55,
“Calculating
the
Population
Standard
Deviation.”
t
The
correlation
coefficient
is
a
number
in
the
range
—1
through
+1
that
measures
how
closely
the
data
fits
the
calculated
line.
A
value
of
+1
indicates
a
perfect
positive
correla-
tion,
and
—1
indicates
a
perfect
negative
correlation.
A
value
close
to
zero
indicates
the
curve
is
a
poor
fit.
