Given the stdev of a dataset and the stdev of a subset, compute the stdev after the subset is removed

14 Views Asked by At

I am given a set of basic metrics for a dataset, such as:

  • mean
  • standard deviation
  • length

I am then given the same set of metrics for a subset of the dataset, for example, a set of outliers.

However, I do not have access to the individual values within the dataset.

Given this, is it possible to compute the standard deviation of the dataset with the subset removed?
