3.1 Mean (Average)

The mean is the central value of a data set and serves as a fundamental measure in statistics.

3.2 Deviation from the Mean

This section explores the concept of deviation from the mean, including definitions and calculations related to variance and standard deviation.

3.3 Variance (σ² or s²)

Variance measures the average of the squared deviations from the mean, indicating the spread of data in a set.

3.4 Standard Deviation (σ or s)

Standard deviation is a key measure of data dispersion that quantifies how much individual data points deviate from the mean.

3.5 Why Square the Differences?

This section discusses the rationale behind squaring differences when calculating variance and standard deviation in statistics.

Step-by-Step Example

This section provides detailed examples illustrating how to calculate variance and standard deviation using both sample and grouped data.
