Question 1

What is variance?

  • A measure of spread calculated by the sum of deviations from the mean.
  • The square root of the average squared differences from the mean.
  • A simple difference between max and min values.

💡 Hint: Think about how variance reflects overall data variability.

Question 2

True or False: Standard deviation is always larger than range.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the definitions of both terms.
