Calculate the variance of your dataset. Understand the formula and its use below.
Formula: σ² = Σ ( xi - μ )² / N
Where:
σ²
= Variance
Σ
= Sum of all values
xi
= Each value in the dataset
μ
= Mean of the dataset
N
= Number of values in the dataset
Uses: Variance measures the spread of data points in a dataset. A higher variance indicates that the data points are more spread out from the mean.
