Formula
Sample variance s² = Σ(xᵢ − x̄)² / (n−1). Population variance σ² = Σ(xᵢ − μ)² / n.
Domande Frequenti
What is variance?
A measure of how spread out data points are from the mean. Higher variance means more spread.
Sample vs. population variance?
Sample variance divides by (n−1) for Bessel's correction; population variance divides by n.
What is standard deviation?
The square root of the variance, expressed in the same units as the data.
