Default Re: Standard Deviation Question, How to do it?

My question is first how is the variable, a, determined.

Assumung the upper quarter solution:
.04 + .15 + .33 + .47 = .99

1
- = (.99)^a
4

Log(.99}
-------- = a
Log(.25)

This doesn't look correct so I must have not understood something or maybe I'm being "special" today.
