Standard Deviation Formula
The standard deviation formula is used in statistics. This formula is used to determine the variability or a data set or probability distribution. First you need to have the values that you are going to use. Add your value points up and find the mean. Then you need to calculate the difference of each data point from the mean, and square the result. Next you average those values and take the square root, which will give you the standard deviation. For an example of this formula review this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

Using the N-1 version of the formula, we still define the standard deviation as the average amount by which scores in a distribution differ from the mean, ignoring the sign of the difference, even though this isn t a true average using this formula.

The variance and the closely-related standard deviation are measures of how spread out a distribution is. In other words, they are measures of variability. The variance is computed as ... The standard deviation formula is very simple: it is the square root of the variance. It is the most commonly used measure of spread.
