result of each:

Next, the variance is the mean of these values:

Finally, the population standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

If the eight values with which we began are not the entire population of interest, then this is only one of many possible estimates of the standard deviation in the whole population. This specific one is biased, meaning that its expected value in repeated sampling deviates from the true value, but it
