As the sample is drawn for population and in many cases a representative of population. So as the sample is more likely to underestimate the number of outliers by doing n-1 in calculation sample std or variance we get a higher standard deviation to account for the distortions in data not captured by the sample.
As a rule the sample std will be higher than the population std. |
