Default Re: question about standard deviation

In order to solve this you need to know how far the swings deviate from the mean (average). In the S.D. formula:

S = root E(y-y*)2/n-1, where y*= sum of all observed values from y (the diff. swings) / total sample size

Since you are working with the mean, your end results don't fall into consideration.
