I'm wondering about the SXX function on my calculator. I've seen it before but I'm not sure what it stands for or what it's used for. Can someone explain the meaning and purpose of SXX on a calculator?

To understand this, it's important to first know what the mean value of x is. The mean is calculated by summing all the values of x and then dividing by the total number of values.

Once the mean is determined, the deviations from the mean for each value of x can be calculated. These deviations are then squared to ensure that they are all positive.
