In this example, Generic Insurance wants to find the average, standard deviation and covariance of 10 employees' heights and weights. For example, data set 100, 130, 160 is less spread out than data set 1, 50, 100, 150, 200 Range Range is the easiest way to describe dispersion using the below formula. Formula for Standard Deviation Now , in the above standard deviation equation we see a sign like reverse Z this sign is known as the summation sign , if you are not aware of it then you will find the above equation a quite difficult to understand but this is not so it is very easy and simple to understand the meaning of this symbol.

Last updated on July 30th, 2018 In this article, we shall show you how to calculate variance in Excel. Variance is one of the most useful concepts in statistics. It measures the distribution by looking at all the data point. Normally variance is the difference between an expected and actual result. In statistics, the variance is calculated by dividing the square of the deviation about the mean with the number of population. To calculate the deviation about the mean the difference of each individual value with the arithmetic mean is taken and then all the differences are summed up. Here in this article, we will analyze different methods and functions for calculating variance in excel. This will give you a decimal number. After formatting this into percentage format you will get the result as a percentage. The following picture shows the result of a normal variance. If the original value is greater than the new value you will get a negative result. To avoid the negative result, use the function ABS in the formula. It makes the negative number positive. How to Calculate Population Variance in Excel With Formula For calculating the population variance, the following formula is used. For easier calculation make two columns which are for X-μ and X-μ 2. The resultant value will be N for this formula. Then finally calculate the population variance by dividing the square of the deviation about the mean X-μ 2 by the total number of data. Here we found the result 82. The following picture shows the result and necessary data table for the calculation. How to Calculate Sample Variance in Excel With Formula For calculating the population variance, the following formula is used. As you can see, there is only one difference between the previous formula and this. It is that the sample formula has a denominator of N-1. Previously the denominator was N. The whole calculation in Excel will be same. The only difference will be dividing the square of the deviation about the mean X-μ 2 by N-1 instead of N. Here the calculated value is 102. Instead of 5, the deviation about the mean X-μ 2 is now divided by 4. So, with the same values of data, the sample variance is always greater than the population variance. The following picture shows the result and necessary data table for the calculation of sample variance. In excel there are 4 built-in functions for calculating the variances. You just need to define the range for which you want to find the variance. Suppose you want to calculate the population variance using the excel built-in function. Here we will be using the same example to see if our result matches with previous population variance result or not. The function that we will be using is VAR. This function gives the variance from a whole population. The following picture shows the population variance with VAR. To show the sample variance you can use the function VAR. The following picture shows the result of sample variance with VAR. There are other two functions to calculate the variance. They are VARA and VARPA. S functions, the logical and text values are ignored. But VARA and VARPA evaluate the logical and text values in the calculation. The following picture shows the 4 functions together where different results are found. VARA evaluates the simple variance whereas VARPA evaluates the population variance. They have VAR and VARP functions where the VAR calculate the sample variance and VARP calculates the variance based on an entire population. Conclusion For proper visualization of statistical data, it is important to measure the variance. Without the variance, you can not measure the standard deviation. In this article, I showed different approaches for calculating the variance in excel. Following the step by step process for calculating the variance is a longer process of calculation. There are many functions for calculating the variance and these are faster than the step by step calculations. You will find all the calculations provided in this article in the below file. I hope you will find this article useful. Follow this website for many useful articles regarding Microsoft Excel. Welcome to my Profile. Here I will be posting articles related to Microsoft Excel.

How can such numbers appear in your worksheets. This will give you a decimal number. After entering the desired data you are needed to place the cursor at that place where you wanted the value of mean or average and then click on the button of mouse. To better illustrate the point, please consider the following example. Add all the data points in the sample together. Start with a population data set. For Math, the standard deviation is 23. In excel there are 4 built-in functions for calculating the variances. Enter the heights into Column A and the weights into Column B. To find the mean, add all the data points together, then divide by the number of data points.
