Sum of Squares Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Sum of Squares = Variance of Data*Sample Size in Sum of Square
SS = σ2*N(SS)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Sum of Squares - Sum of Squares is the sum of the squared deviations of individual data points from the mean of the data set.
Variance of Data - Variance of Data is the measure of how much the values in a data set vary.
Sample Size in Sum of Square - Sample Size in Sum of Square is the number of observations or data points collected in a study or experiment.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Variance of Data: 16 --> No Conversion Required
Sample Size in Sum of Square: 15 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
SS = σ2*N(SS) --> 16*15
Evaluating ... ...
SS = 240
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
240 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
240 <-- Sum of Squares
(Calculation completed in 00.005 seconds)

3 Sum of Squares Calculators

Residual Sum of Squares
Go Residual Sum of Squares = (Residual Standard Error^2)*Degrees of Freedom in Sum of Squares
Residual Sum of Squares given Residual Standard Error
Go Residual Sum of Squares = (Residual Standard Error^2)*(Sample Size in Sum of Square-1)
Sum of Squares
Go Sum of Squares = Variance of Data*Sample Size in Sum of Square

Sum of Squares Formula

Sum of Squares = Variance of Data*Sample Size in Sum of Square
SS = σ2*N(SS)

What is the importance of Sum of Squares of data values in Statistics?

In Statistics, the calculation of sum of squares has a great importance in both basic level and advanced level. For the basic measures of dispersions like variance, standard deviation, standard error, etc the calculations will be very hectic if we follow the summation from definition of them. But those summation can be simplified to another form which involves the sum of squares of the data points. Then the calculations will be easier and by squaring each value we can avoid the issues of negative signs when some data values are negative.

How to Calculate Sum of Squares?
