How to Solve for Variance?

Find the mean: (mu = frac{sum x}{n})

Subtract the mean from each value: (x – mu)

Square each difference: ((x – mu)^2)

Add the squared differences: (sum (x – mu)^2)

Divide by the number of values for population variance: (sigma^2 = frac{sum (x – mu)^2}{n})

Divide by one less than the number of values for sample variance: (s^2 = frac{sum (x – bar{x})^2}{n – 1})
