Given a set of n scores, the variance is sum of the squared deviation divided by n or n-1. We divide by n for the population and n-1 for the sample.

T score is usually used when the sample size is below 30 and/or when the population standard deviation is unknown.
When the population standard deviation is known, the sample distribution is a normal distribution if the sample size is sufficiently large, typically due to the Central Limit Theorem. If the sample size is small and the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed, the sample distribution will also be normal. In such cases, statistical inference can be performed using z-scores.
You need to use a table of standard scores.
The sample variance is obtained by dividing SS by the degrees of freedom (n-1). In this case, the sample variance is SS/(n-1) = 300/(4-1) = 300/3 = 100 In order to get the standard error, you can do one of two things: a) divide the variance by n and get the square root of the result: square.root (100/4) = square.root(25) = 5, or b) get the standard deviation and divide it by the square root of n. 10/square.root(4) = 10/2 = 5
The standard deviation is defined as the square root of the variance, so the variance is the same as the squared standard deviation.

sum of scores: 24 mean of scores : 24/4 = 6 squared deviations from the mean: 9, 4,4,9 sum of these: 26 sample variance: 26/4 = 6.5
The variance and the standard deviation will decrease.
Given a set of n scores, the variance is sum of the squared deviation divided by n or n-1. We divide by n for the population and n-1 for the sample.
z-scores are distributed according to the standard normal distribution. That is, with the parameters: mean 0 and variance 1.

The variance is: 0.666666666667
T score is usually used when the sample size is below 30 and/or when the population standard deviation is unknown.
A variable that has been transformed by multiplication of all scores by a constant and/or by the addition of a constant to all scores. Often these constants are selected so that the transformed scores have a mean of zero and a variance (and standard deviation) of 1.0.
