Frequently Asked Questions
Sample variance measures the spread of a set of numbers from their mean. It is calculated as the average of the squared differences from the mean, using n-1 in the denominator (Bessel's correction).
Dividing by n-1 (Bessel's correction) provides an unbiased estimate of the population variance when using a sample. It corrects the bias in the estimation of the population variance.
Variance is the average squared deviation from the mean, while standard deviation is the square root of variance. Standard deviation is in the same units as the data, making it easier to interpret.
