Population standard deviation is a measure of how dispersed the data values are
about the mean. Population standard deviation assumes the data constitutes the
complete
set of data, and is calculated using n as a divisor.

Example:
Population Standard Deviation.
Grandma Hinkle has four grown sons with heights of 170, 173, 174, and 180 cm.
Find the population standard deviation of their heights.
