Formula & Methodology

The formula for standard deviation of sample proportion is:

s = sqrt[(p * (1 - p) / n) * (N - n) / (N - 1)]

Where:

• s is the standard deviation of the sample proportion.
• p is the sample proportion.
• n is the sample size.
• N is the population size.

Interactive FAQ

What is the difference between standard deviation and variance?

Standard deviation is the square root of variance. Variance measures how spread out numbers are from their mean, while standard deviation measures the same thing but in the original units of the data.
