Why do you square the deviations to get the variance and then take the reverse action of taking the square root of the variance to return the variance to sigma?
because of two things- a) both positive and negative deviations mean something about the general variability of the data to the analyst, if you added them they'd cancel out, but squaring them results in positive numbers that add up. b) a few larger deviations are much more significant than the many little ones, and squaring them gives them more weight. Sigma, the square root of the variance, is a good pointer to how far away from the mean you are likely to be if you choose a datum at random. the probability of being such a number of sigmas away is easily looked up.
What is Assumptions for Variance Homogeneous?
Equal in Variance
Difference between standard deviation and mean devition?
The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean. The standard deviation sigma of a probability distribution is defined as the square root of the variance sigma^2,
How do you convert variance of 10.8 square inches into standard deviation?
Standard deviation = square root of variance.
Why the standard deviation of a set of data will always be greater than or equal to 0?
Because it is defined as the principal square root of the variance.
Is variance square of standard deviation?
Yes, the variance of a data set is the square of the standard deviation (sigma) of the set. This means that the variance is always a positive number, even though the data might have a negative sigma value.
The square of the standard deviation is equal to?
The variance
Symbol for population variance?
the small greek letter sigma squared.
What is the sign for sigma?
Sigma is a Greek symbol used for many variables in mathematics and science. However, within statistics, the variance is sigma squared and it is always positive. Sigma is used as the standard deviation of a population, and as calculated, it is always equal or greater than 0 (a positive number). However, in discussing errors, one can consider adding or subtracting sigma, ie the error in our experiment is +/- one sigma from the population.

What is the relationship between standard deviation and variance?
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
What is the symbol that denotes population variance?
It's a lower-case Greek sigma followed by a superscript 2, in other words, "sigma-squared".
Is it true that the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the variance?
Yes. Please see the related link, below.
What values can variance not equal in math?
Variance cannot be negative.
