Subj:   Standard deviation: STDDEV_POP
 
From:   Rudel Simard

Hi all,

I'm looking to use the STDDEV_POP aggregate functions, to get the standard deviation of my population but I'm not shure of the documentation. The documentation say :

The equation for computing STDDEV_POP is as follows:

STDDEV_POP = SQRT( COUNT(x) SUM(x**2) - (SUM(x)**2 / COUNT(x)**2))


I think the documentation should say :

STDDEV_POP = SQRT(COUNT(x) SUM(x**2) - (SUM(x)**2) / COUNT(x)**2)


Does any math people can confirm what I'm thinking.


Regard,
