Es and Sd

Post by scott/r »

Hey guys, extreme spread I have a handle on. Pretty basic stuff. But sd I'm not up to par with. First off how do you calculate it? Is there a formula to work it out? And what is the main reason for these numbers?

Scott you can get an SD calculator app for your phone or pad. A rough calculation can be done by dividing the Es by 4. That's all I know. Stuff I found on Google. Others may have other methods and some explanation.

Cool, thanks Steve.
I did a google search and found a calculator that also gives you your percentage forcasts as well. Which is the reason for sd figures, so I just read.

What is an acceptable number for 155.5 bergers? I've got a reading of 4.55 from this calculator. Am I in the ballpark?
