What else can I help you with?
What shows you how accurate to the true value an experimental value is?
The error, which can be measured in a number of different ways. Error, percentage error, mean absolute deviation, standardised error, standard deviation, variance are some measures that can be used.
What are are measures of variability or dispersion within a set of data?

How do you find variance of 2 sets of numbers?
1. Find the mean (average) of each set. 2. Subtract each value from its set mean. 3. Square each difference. 4. Add the squared values for each set. The sum of the squared differences for each set is that set's variance. If you want to find standard deviation (a much more useful number in most cases), divide the variance by the number of values in the set minus 1 (n-1), and then take the square root of the result.
How does the outlier effect the mean median and mode in a set of data?
There would be a difference to the median. The old number wouldn't be the median but the mode wouldn't change. If the outlier is a high value, it will cause the mean value to shift to the higher side, while a low valued outlier will drop the mean value to a lower number.
What are 2 properties of a Distribution Mean?
Standard deviation and variance
What value shows how the data set as a whole is spread around the mean?
variance
Can the variance be a negative number?
First, we compute the variance by taking the sum of squares and divide that by N which is the number of data points in the same. It is average squared deviation of each number from its mean. The point is a squared number is always positive and N is always positive so the variance must always be non-negative. ( It can be 0). The variance is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data points around their mean value. It would not make sense for it to be negative.
How would you describe a variance?
A commonly used method is to determine the difference between what was allowed by standard costs, which are the budget allowances, and what was actually spent for the output achieved. This difference is called a variance.
Is variance based on deviations from the mean?
Variance is the squared deviation from the mean. (X bar - X data)^2
Which value is NOT always a number in the data set it represents?
The range, median, mean, variance, standard deviation, absolute deviation, skewness, kurtosis, percentiles, quartiles, inter-quartile range - take your pick. It would have been simpler to ask which value IS in the data set!
Is mean used to describe the variance of data?
Yes.
The mean is 10 What is the variance of the data set 4 9 9 13?
The variance is 13.5833
What is the proof of sample variance and how is it derived?
The proof of sample variance involves calculating the sum of squared differences between each data point and the sample mean, dividing by the number of data points minus one, and taking the square root. This formula is derived from the definition of variance as the average of the squared differences from the mean.
What is the purpose of calculating the mean and the variance?
Calculating the mean helps to understand the central tendency of a data set, while calculating the variance provides information about the spread or dispersion of the data points around the mean. Together, the mean and variance provide a summary of the data distribution, enabling comparisons and making statistical inferences.
What is one formula statisticians use?
Some formulas statisticians may use are population mean, sample mean, variance, and standard deviation. They may also use linear regression line and standard error equations. Another can be the mean value of a data set, where one adds all data points given in a set and divides this number by the number of data points in the set.
When a coin is tossed four time then mean and variance of the number of the head?
Mean = 2. Variance = 1.
Can variance be negative?
Since Variance is the average of the squared distanced from the mean, Variance must be a non negative number.
