Procedure for finding the ___: find the mean, subtract the mean from every observation in the dataset, square each of those differences, add them all up and then divide by the count of observations minus 1. But do not take the square root.

Once you've calculated the mean, and listed the values in a table, what is the next step to calculating the variance?

• Square each value in the data set

• Subtract each value in the data set from the mean

• Subtract the mean from each value in the data set

• Add the mean to each value in the data set
