How do I figure out the standard Variance when doing statistics?

Question

Can anyone give an explaination that makes sense to people that are lame at math? Thanks

Answer 1

I've never heard of standard variance. Now variance and standard deviation...

To find the variance,
1. find the mean of the values,
2. subtract the mean from each of the values (these are called deviations),
3. square each deviation,
4. add up all of the deviations, and
5. divide by n-1, where n is the number of values.

For the standard deviaton, take the square root of the variance.
