RE: Error in Statistics 1Var Report
Hi,

The STAT APP, as already mentioned, is correct.
The XCAS documentation for stddev() says that it calculates the std dev if the argument supplied IS the population.
stddevp() is the std dev if the argument supplied is a SAMPLE.

The nomenclature is confusing when looking at the HELP for these commands on the calculator (the heading block).

For me, I would prefer stddev() be used for a sample and stddevp used for calculating the population std dev.
