What kind of deviation is the $sx$ button on my calculator?

71 Views Asked by At

I'm learning about standard deviation and I notice there is another kind of deviation option on my calculator.

The standard deviation is denoted by $\sigma x$ on my calculator while the other kind of deviation is denoted by $sx$.

Just to clarify what $sx$ does, given the data $1,2,3$, $\sigma x=0.816$ while $sx=1.000$.

What is the name of this kind of variance ?

I am assuming it is a kind of variance based on what it does with data.
