Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The variance is based on the
A
deviation about the median.
B
number of variables.
C
deviation about the mean.
D
correlation in the data.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Variance is equal to the average squared deviations from the mean, while standard deviation is the number’s square root. Also, the standard deviation is a square root of variance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The variance is mean squared difference between each data point and the centre of the distribution measured by the mean.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mean and variance is a measure of central dispersion. Mean is the average of given set of numbers. The average of the squared difference from the mean is the variance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Standard deviation measures how far apart numbers are in a data set. Variance, on the other hand, gives an actual value to how much the numbers in a data set vary from the mean. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and is expressed in the same units as the data set.

Detailed explanation-5: -Variance is the average squared deviations from the mean, while standard deviation is the square root of this number. Both measures reflect variability in a distribution, but their units differ: Standard deviation is expressed in the same units as the original values (e.g., minutes or meters).
