Question
When computing the standard deviation, does it matter whether the data are sample data or data comprising the entire population? Choose one answer:
A. Yes. The formula for s is divided by n, while the formula for ? is divided by N − 1.
B. Yes. The formula for s is divided by n − 1, while the formula for ? is divided by N.
C. No. The formula for both s and ? is divided by n − 1.
D. No. The formula for both s and ? is divided by N.
