Variance Formulaa

There are two type of variance One is sample variance and the other is population variance

Sample Variance formula

standard deviaton
  • S2 denotes the sample variance.
  • n is the total number of observations
  • xi is the set of data values
  • x̄ is the sample mean

Population Variance formula

standard deviaton
  • σ2 denotes to population variance
  • n is the number of observations
  • xi is the observed values of the sample item, and
  • x̄ is the mean value of the sample
