college stats and standard deviations??

Something isn’t clicking today, so I must be making a silly error. Given a list of data values, the Ex (sum of x) is 71.5; which is correct. How do I find the sum of all values squared (Ex^2)? I am way off by simply squaring the 71.5! What did I do wrong?

I don’t know this for sure, but check out this website’

www.richland.edu/james/

lecture/m113/variation.html

When you get there, just scroll down to sum of the squares.

There is a good formula and explanation for finding the “sum of the squares” (is that what you are looking for??)

This is the formula: (I’m using the capital E for the greek sum symbol)

SS(x) = Ex^2 – (Ex)^2 / n
