Application → VarianceEvidenceUse a spreadsheet to compute the mean and population standard deviation of12 monthly temperatures for Taipei, Kaohsiung and Hsinchu. The lesson enters AVERAGE and STDEVP with row ranges and copies their formulas down. Changing Taipei month6 from28 to20 updates its displayed mean from23.48 to22.82 and standard deviation from5.19 to5.08; the linked chart follows. Values are displayed rounded, and the sample/population distinction is introduced without proving the denominator correction.
