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.

Press{ 2 {σº} for the population standard deviation of the x–values.

Press { 2 {σ¸} for the population standard deviation of the y–values.
