How this calculator works
Enter the values for value, rate (%) and review the units before calculating.
Formula / method
σ² = Σ(x − μ)² ÷ n
Worked example
For 2, 4 and 6, the mean is 4 and the population variance is 2.67.
Assumptions and limitations
The entered list is the complete population rather than a sample.
A population variance is not a substitute for a sample estimate when the list is only a sample.
