Variance measures how spread out data values are from their mean. Standard deviation is the square root of variance and is in the same units as the original data.

Formula

Population variance: σ² = Σ(xᵢ − μ)² / N

N: N value — Variable used in the calculation

Guida passo passo

1Population variance: σ² = Σ(xᵢ − μ)² / N
2Sample variance: s² = Σ(xᵢ − x̄)² / (n−1)
3Use n−1 (Bessel's correction) for sample data
4Standard deviation σ = √variance
