Standard deviation javascript

Question

I am trying to get the standard deviation of a user input string. I have as follows, but it returns the wrong value for SD. The calculation should go as follows: Sum values/

Answer 1

Quick implementation of the standard deviation function:

const sd = numbers => {
  const mean = numbers.reduce((acc, n) => acc + n) / numbers.length;
  return Math.sqrt(
    numbers.reduce((acc, n) => (n - mean) ** 2) / numbers.length
  );
};

Corrected SD version:

const correctedSd = numbers => {
  const mean = numbers.reduce((acc, n) => acc + n) / numbers.length;
  return Math.sqrt(
    numbers.reduce((acc, n) => (n - mean) ** 2) / (numbers.length - 1)
  );
};
