📚 Step-by-Step Example

Sample Dataset: 12, 15, 18, 20, 22

1. Calculate Mean (x̄)Copy(12 + 15 + 18 + 20 + 22) / 5 = 17.4
2. Find Squared DeviationsCopy(12-17.4)² = 29.16 (15-17.4)² = 5.76 (18-17.4)² = 0.36 (20-17.4)² = 6.76 (22-17.4)² = 21.16
3. Sum All Values (Sxx)Copy29.16 + 5.76 + 0.36 + 6.76 + 21.16 = 63.2

Calculator Output:

Sxx Value: 63.2000
Number of values (n): 5
Sum of x values: 87
Mean (x̄): 17.4000

❓ FAQ

Q1: Why is Sxx important in statistics?

A: Sxx measures data spread – crucial for:

• Regression analysis
