Hi, I have S=[2 4 4 4 5 5 7 9]; can any one tell me how can I count and plot standard deviation in this values?

Sorry, no. Not until you supply more info on what you mean, like why you expect more than one standard deviation from that set of observations.

numdev = floor((mean(S)-min(S))./std(S));
Determining the position of each standard deviation and plotting is left as a homework exercise.
Though possibly you want
numdev = floor((mean(S,2)-min(S,[],2))./std(S,[],2));

The standard deviation of the values in S can be calculated with the std() command:
>> std(S)
I'm not sure what you mean by plotting that standard deviation.

Sorry, but I am very confused. The standard deviation is one number. What exactly do you want to plot? What are you trying to do, see, or understand about that set of numbers by plotting? Type "help plot" for help on one simple plotting command.
