For ungrouped data, assume $f_i = 1$.
Alternatively, the above equation can be arranged to form the following equation, which is better remembered as **the means of the squares minus the square of the mean**.
$$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i^2}{n}} - \bar{x}^2$$
In a typical bell-shaped distribution:
- 68% of data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean ($\bar{x} ± \sigma$)
