• Nov 16, 2025 Variance Formula easures of data dispersion, or spread, is variance. It tells us how far individual data points are spread out from the mean (average). A high variance indicates data points are widely scattered, while a low variance means they are clustered closely around the mean. This article will demyst BY Jenifer Ankunding
