37 These functions calculate an average or typical value from a population
53 These functions calculate a measure of how much the population or sample
107 The sample mean gives an unbiased estimate of the true population mean,
109 ``mean(sample)`` converges on the true mean of the entire population. If
110 *data* represents the entire population rather than a sample, then
111 ``mean(data)`` is equivalent to calculating the true population mean μ.
298 Return the population standard deviation (the square root of the population
309 Return the population variance of *data*, a non-empty iterable of real-valued
319 Use this function to calculate the variance from the entire population. To
360 When called with the entire population, this gives the population variance
364 If you somehow know the true population mean μ, you may use this function
365 to calculate the variance of a sample, giving the known population mean as
368 unbiased estimate of the population variance.
394 Use this function when your data is a sample from a population. To calculate
395 the variance from the entire population, see :func:`pvariance`.
437 should be an unbiased estimate of the true population variance.
439 If you somehow know the actual population mean μ you should pass it to the
