calculate mean function!

Nov 20th, 2008

Hello,

I am supposed to write a program that prompts user to enter the numbers separated by space and when user click "ok" button, it should display the numbers entered with its mean, and standard deviation and the window should ask if user wants to enter numbers again if yes then it should display the new numbers entered, with its mean and standard deviation.

I created an external javascript file and embedded inside the strict XHTML file
here is what I got :-

Is this function correct?

thanks,

First thing, please remove keyword this. There is no need to use this.n ....
Rest is fine and I hope you will be able to solve it yourself. Still if you could not develop the function ... please provide the formulae for the mean and standard deviation.

Regards
