Standard Deviation, σ: 11.939849245279

Count, N: 5
Sum, Σx: 13514
Mean, μ: 2702.8
Variance, σ2: 142.56

Steps

σ2 =
Σ(xi - μ)2
N
=
(2699 - 2702.8)2 + ... + (2725 - 2702.8)2
5
=
712.8
5
= 142.56
σ = √142.56
= 11.939849245279

Margin of Error (Confidence Interval)

The sampling mean most likely follows a normal distribution. In this case, the standard error of the mean (SEM) can be calculated using the following equation:

σx̄ =
σ
√N
= 5.3396629107089
Based on the SEM, the following are the margins of error (or confidence intervals) at different confidence levels. Depending on the field of study, a confidence level of 95% (or statistical significance of 5%) is typically used for data representation.

Thanks but I took my last math class in 9th grade and never took algebra or any of that it gives me a headache looking at that but I’ll try or get my grandson to do it lol

His number was Population Standard Deviation.
From the above link calculator there are different types.
Standard deviation is a measure of spread of numbers in a set of data from its mean value. Use our online standard deviation calculator to find the mean, variance and arithmetic standard deviation of the given numbers.

I just shoot and shoot and shoot in different temps until I find a load that works and toss out all the chrony numbers.

Numbers I found that make a huge difference are Ogive numbers
