Now you are really getting outside my area of knowledge. :)

The formula I want to use calls for Std Error which is a measure of 
the varience from a linear regression of the data, while Std Dev is 
the varience from the mean of the data....maybe....

Trying to get meaningful information for beginners from the 
statistical oriented web sites has not been a good experience. :( I 
really have no idea whether I could cobble something together using 
Std Dev or not.

Anyone have any insights here?
