No, you have it backwards, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the variance is the standard deviation squared. Usually you find the variance first, as it is the average sum of squares of the distribution, and then find the standard deviation by squaring it.
you have to first find the Mean then subtract each of the results from the mean and then square them. then you divide by the total amount of results and that gives you the variance. If you square root the variance you will get the standard deviation

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance; so if the variance is 64, the std dev is 8.
I believe you are interested in calculating the variance from a set of data related to salaries. Variance = square of the standard deviation, where: s= square root[sum (xi- mean)2/(n-1)] where mean of the set is the sum of all data divided by the number in the sample. X of i is a single data point (single salary). If instead of a sample of data, you have the entire population of size N, substitute N for n-1 in the above equation. You may find more information on the interpretation of variance, by searching wikipedia under variance and standard deviation. I note that an advantage of using the standard deviation rather than variance, is because the standard deviation will be in the same units as the mean.
To calculate variance, first find the mean (average) of your data set. Then, subtract the mean from each data point and square the result to eliminate negative values. Next, sum these squared differences and divide by the number of data points (for population variance) or by the number of data points minus one (for sample variance). This final result is the variance, which measures the spread of the data points around the mean.
Variance is 362 or 1296.
The variance is: 3.96
That's what I'm trying to find out :(
Mass divided by volume
To find the standard deviation (Sx) in statistics, you first calculate the mean (average) of your dataset. Then, subtract the mean from each data point to find the deviation of each value, square these deviations, and compute their average (variance). Finally, take the square root of the variance to obtain the standard deviation (Sx). This process quantifies the dispersion or spread of the data points around the mean.
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.
