you find the mean or average of all the numbers, then you subtract all of your data values or trials from the mean, for example if your mean was 3 and you had five data values it would look something like this. 4-3=1 5-3=2 2-3=-1 3-3=0 5-3=2. you then square all of those results and add them so you end up with 1+4+1+0+4=10 ten is your variance, find the square root of the variance so square root of 10 is

3.162-note you put 3 places after decimal for sd so dont pay attention to sig figs. 3.162 is your standard deviation or s
