What does this symbol represent?

• Variance
• Standard Deviation
• Mean Absolute Deviation
• Sigma

What does variance represent?

• How many different variations are in the data set.

• How the population varies compared to the sample.

• How spread out each data value is from the mean.

• The range, but with a bunch of other stuff going on.

What does this symbol represent?

• Standard Deviation
• Variance
• Mean Absolute Deviation
• Sigma

Before you can begin calculating the variance, you must first:

• find the mean

• find the median

• find the mode

• find the range

What is the standard deviation for the data given:
