Anywhoo, yes ur absolutely correct, u have to do loops for the sum of all values x^2(this is thing in the equation) and the sum of all values x (this is the thing being squared in the equation) this goes in the loop. x is the users input fyi and for the mean i recomend using a counter in the loop to divide by the number of inputs depending how many the user enters. everthing else like 1/n and n-1 and the square root is all outside the loop hoepfully that helps Last edited by aalva190 at 23:12 May 10, 2016.
