calculating a weighted average uisng formula
 

I have data from a series of studies in 2 columns of data (G1-G15) &
(H1-H15).

Column 1 = the number positive for an event in each study
Column 2 = the sample size for each study

I calculated a sum for column 1 & column 2 in G16 & H16 respectively.
In addition I want to calculate the average and standard deviation.


The following formula computes an average but I also need the
standard deviation.

=G16*100/H16

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi!

=STDEV(G1:G15)

=STDEV(H1:H15)
