• Note: There are two types of variance calculations; population
variance and sample variance. In order to calculate population variance
you need data about the entire population. With sample variance you enter
data about a limited number of the population. Sample variance lets you make
conclusions about the population based upon that sample data. This calculator provides
sample variance and sample standard deviation. Please contact me if you
have any comments or need more information.
