Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the standard deviation of a population is 7, what is the variance? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that the standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the numbers are in a population.
  • Step 2: Know that variance is another measure of spread, and it is calculated by squaring the standard deviation.
  • Step 3: Take the given standard deviation, which is 7.
  • Step 4: Square the standard deviation: 7 multiplied by 7 equals 49.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the variance is 49.
  • Variance and Standard Deviation – Variance is a measure of the dispersion of a set of values, calculated as the square of the standard deviation.
