When calculating the standard deviation of a dataset, should we use σ\sigma (population SD, dividing by nn) or ss (sample SD, dividing by n1n-1)? Which statements are correct? (Select all that apply)

I. Use σ\sigma if the dataset represents the entire group of interest II. Use ss if the dataset is a random sample from a larger population III. The (n1)(n-1) denominator provides an unbiased estimate of population variance IV. For large nn, the difference between σ\sigma and ss becomes negligible
