Re: standard deviation from frequency table

Referring your example: variance = 2_nd moment - (1_st moment), that is: 2_nd moment = 0^2 * 0.2 + 1^2 * 0.3 + 2^2 * 0.2 + 3^2 * 0.2 + 4^2 * 0.1 = 4.5 1_st moment = 0 * 0.2 + 1 * 0.3 + 2 * 0.2 + 3 * 0.2 + 4 * 0.1 = 1.7 then variance = 4.5 - (1.7)^2 = 1.61 then standard deviation = sqrt(1.61) =

Help for this small program

2001-01-10 Thread Ming Dai (MTH)
Please help me with the following Fortran program. When the line labeled 60 does not run, the result for q2 is correct; but when this line runs, the results are totally wrong, since the values of z in the do-loop change. Can someone tell why and how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Arguments are always passed by reference in Fortran, so a subprogram can change their values as seen by the calling program. If this is not desired, the subprograms should not modify their arguments. Change double precision function dk22 (x1, x2) to double precision function
