The Percent Relative Standard Deviation calculator computes the percent relative standard deviation based on the standard deviation for a sample and the mean for the sample.
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
Percent Relative Standard Deviation (%RSD): The calculator returns the percent.
The Math / Science
The percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) is also known as the coefficient of variation (CV). The %RSD is a measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution. Dividing the standard deviation by the mean of the data provides the relative magnitude of the standard deviation. This equation returns the %RSD as the percentage; i.e. an RSD for `sigma` = .05 and a `barx` = 1.0 should give you 5.0 percent as the output.
The equation for the Percent Relative Standard Deviation is :
%RSD = `sigma / barx` x 100%
where:
The formula for statistical mean is the sum of observations divided by the number of observations as follows:
- `barx = (sum_1^n(x_n))/n`
where:
- `barx` is the statistical mean
- xn are the observations
- n is the number of observations
The formula for sample standard deviation:
`sigma = sqrt((sum_1^n(x_n-mu)^2)/(n-1))`
where:

- Observational Stats: This function accepts a table of numbers separated by commas and calculates observational statistics for any of the columns. This includes count, min, max, sum, sum of squares (Σx²), square of the sum (Σx)², mean, median, mode, range, mid point, rand, sort up, sort down, rand, population variance, population standard deviation, the sample/experimental variance, sample/experimental standard deviation.
- Frequency Distribution: This function lets you enter a string of numbers separated by commas, a low and high range and a number of bins. It then computes how many of the observations are in each of the bins between the high and low values designated.
- Paired Sample t-test: This computes the various parameters associated with the Paired Sample t-test.
- ANOVA (one way): The is one way analysis of variance
- (χ2) Chi-Square Test: This computes the Chi-Square value for an nxm array of data and provides the degrees of freedom.
- Linear Regression: This computes the regression line (least-squares) through a set of X and Y observations. It also computes the regression coefficient (r).
- y = a + bx: This is linear equation used with Linear Regression to predict values of Y.
- Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test: This provides the Wilcoxon statistics and critical value for two groups of numeric observations based on an alpha value and whether it's a one or two tailed test.
