102) What is the difference between calculating standard deviation of a population versus a
sample?
Answer: When calculating standard deviation the ideal scenario would require all data from the
entire group in question. In many situations this not possible, for example calculating the
standard deviation of age for a city. Acquiring all information from every inhabitant would be
difficult. When faced with this situation, statisticians often take a sample of the entire population
to perform calculations. In Excel the function STDEV.S would be used for samples and
STDEV.P would be used for a population.

their homes when the trouble came, and the men with them forsook
them to hide in the jungles around until we should have passed by.
Poor old ladies! As soon as they saw me they rushed at me and
clung to my skirts, refusing to let me out of their sight for a minute.
We took them with us to Cachar, and let them remain there until
peace should be restored once more.
Day by day brought the same routine: the weary march in the hot
sun, and the worn-out slumber at night; but at last the day dawned
which was to see us across the frontier in British territory once more,
saved in every sense of the word.
It was sunset on the last day of March as we crossed the river
Jhiri. I had come all those weary miles through dangers great and
terrible, and was alive to tell the tale. Illness had spared us all. We
might have had cholera amongst us, to add to the rest of our
troubles; but we had been free from that.
To me, a woman, solitary and alone amongst so many men, the
march had been doubly trying; but to hear them say that I had not
been a burden upon them was some reward for all I had endured.
It has been said lately by some that this retreat to Cachar was in a
great measure due to my presence in Manipur at the time, and that
my helplessness has been the means of dragging the good name of
the army, and the Ghoorka corps in particular, through the mire, by
strongly influencing the officers in their decision to effect ‘the
stampede to Cachar.’
But I scarcely think that they would have allowed the presence of,
and danger to one woman to deter them from whatever they
considered their duty; and had they decided to remain at the
Residency that night, I should never have questioned their right to do
so, even as I raised no argument for or against the retreat to Cachar.
I think that the honour of England is as dear to us women as it is to
the men; and though it is not our vocation in life to be soldiers, and to
fight for our country, yet, when occasion offers, I have little doubt that
the women of England have that in them which would enable them to
come out of any dilemma as nobly and honourably as the men, and
with just as much disregard for their own lives as the bravest soldier
concerned.
But such an insinuation as I have quoted is not, I am happy to
think, the unspoken opinion of the many to whom the story of
Manipur is familiar. It is but the uncharitable verdict of a few who are
perhaps jealous of fair fame honestly won, and who think to take a
little sweetness from the praise which England has awarded to a
woman.
That such praise has been bestowed is more than sufficient
reward for what, after all, many another Englishwoman would have
done under similar circumstances.
