the standard deviation
No. But they are related. If a sample of size n is taken, a standard deviation can be calculated. This is usually denoted as "s" however some textbooks will use the symbol, sigma. The standard deviation of a sample is usually used to estimate the standard deviation of the population. In this case, we use n-1 in the denomimator of the equation. The variance of the sample is the square of the sample's standard deviation. In many textbooks it is denoted as s2. In denoting the standard deviation and variance of populations, the symbols sigma and sigma2 should be used. One last note. We use standard deviations in describing uncertainty as it's easier to understand. If our measurements are in days, then the standard deviation will also be in days. The variance will be in units of days2.
It is used to make life easier for mathematicians and scientist. So instead of them having to write 10,000,000 they can just write 10(7). It is also something that everyone can understand. It was invented by Ellie Jane Smith from Germany in 1867.
No it is not easier because of the external flow.
When graphs are used correctly, they do make relationships easier to understand. they provide a useful way to visualize relationships.
becuase its easier to describe the pattern of the data
It is one of several measures of the spread of data. It is easier to calculate than the standard deviation, which has important statistical properties.

Practice, it is difficult at first but the more you practice, the easier it will become. There is no magical trick
Formally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The variance is the mean of the squares of the difference between each observation and their mean value. An easier to remember form for variance is: the mean of the squares minus the square of the mean.
Knowing the formula is helpful. Also, having a data-set to analyze makes the job much easier.

It is easier to use a spreadsheet than a pen and paper because with a spreadsheet, mistakes can easily be corrected by canceling and repeating. Spreadsheets also carry out automatic scientific calculations such as mode, median and standard deviation.
The variance is based on the squares of the variable being studied. If, for example, the variable is mass, then the variance is measured in mass-squared. Most people will not be able to wrap their heads around the square of mass. However, the square root will be in the same units of measurement as the variable itself. Thus, the idea of a variable being distributed about a mean, M (also measured in the same units), with a standard deviation (or error) of S is easier to understand.Second, under reasonable conditions,the transformed variable obtained by subtracting the mean and dividing the result by the standard deviation will have a standard normal distribution. This is extremely important for estimation and hypothesis testing.
Take it to the shop, and have them adjust the timing. It is a lot faster and easier for them to do it for you.
Coming up with an idea is easier than trying to put it into practice.
When all sub-routines are brought together, the whole practice becomes more easier and benificial.
Yep just keep practicing its true it does just keep practiceing and u ill see that its easier
