In this applet, a user fills in a grid to create a distribution of numbers. The applet displays the size of the standard deviation and the position of the mean in the distribution. An activity is provided to facilitate the use of the applet to investigate standard deviation.
Note: The standard deviation computed is the population standard deviation.
Use the applet to explore the size of the standard deviation as you change the distribution on the grid.
Set the number of rows to 6 and the number of columns to 10. Investigate the following:
