Calculation path
Calculate population variance from count, sum, and sum of squared observations. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
Calculation path
sigma^2 = (sum x^2)/N - [(sum x)/N]^2
What you receive

- Visible assumptions, field guidance, and an authoritative learning reference
Use boundary
Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.
The supplied aggregates must come from the same complete population.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
