(n \u2013 1) is used to obtain a more precise estimate of the population standard deviation from the sample.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What does a standard deviation of zero mean?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standard deviation of zero indicates that all values in the data set are identical to the mean.
