Description

meanandstddev calculates the mean and standard deviation of data and returns the result in mean and stddev, respectively. Stddev is zero if there is only one value. The second form accepts a pointer to an array of N values.

Errors

None.

Example

Program Example28;

{ Program to demonstrate the Meanandstddev function. }
{ @ should return typed pointer }
{$T+}

Uses math;

Type
  TExArray = Array[1..100] of Extended;

Var
  I : Integer;
  ExArray : TExArray;
  Mean,stddev : Extended;

begin

  for I:=low(ExArray) to high(ExArray) do
    ExArray[i]:=(Random-Random)*100;
  MeanAndStdDev(ExArray,Mean,StdDev);
  Writeln('Mean       : ',Mean:8:4);
  Writeln('StdDev     : ',StdDev:8:4);
  MeanAndStdDev(@ExArray[1],100,Mean,StdDev);
  Writeln('Mean   (b) : ',Mean:8:4);
  Writeln('StdDev (b) : ',StdDev:8:4);
end.
