I'm trying to figure out how to convert sxx, which I believe is the sum of squared deviations, into the standard deviation. Is there a specific formula or step-by-step process I can follow to make this conversion?

The formula for variance is defined as variance equals Sxx divided by n minus 1.

In this formula, Sxx represents the sum of the squared differences between each data point and the mean.

The term n minus 1 in the denominator is known as the degrees of freedom and is used to correct for the bias introduced by estimating the mean from the sample.

Variance is a statistical measure that quantifies the degree of dispersion in a set of data points.

The standard deviation (s) is another measure of dispersion that is closely related to variance.
