The Comprehensive Guide to Variance Calculator

What is a Variance Calculator?

Variance is the mathematical expectation of the average squared deviations from the mean. It dictates precisely how spread out data points are. While Standard Deviation is expressed in the same units as the original data, its Variance is expressed in squared units.

The Mathematical Formula

σ² = Σ(x - μ)² / N

The average of the squared differences from the Mean.
