Definitions:

Obtained Value

The actual value measured or computed from a data set or experiment, often compared against a theoretic or critical value in hypothesis testing.

Population Standard Deviation

The population standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a set of values within a population, quantifying how much the values differ from the population mean.

Square Root

A value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number, representing the inverse operation of squaring.

Population

The total set of individuals, items, or data from which samples can be drawn for statistical analysis.
