The video tutorial explains how to calculate variance and standard deviation from a data set. It begins with finding the mean, then subtracts the mean from each data point to find differences. These differences are squared, summed, and divided by the number of data points to find the variance. Finally, the standard deviation is calculated by taking the square root of the variance.
