Summary
| Description |
English: Geometric visualisation of the variance of the example distribution (2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9) on w:Standard deviation.
1. A frequency distribution is constructed. 2. The centroid of the distribution gives its mean. 3. A square with sides equal to the difference of each value from the mean is formed for each value. 4. Arranging the squares into a rectangle with one side equal to the number of values (n) results in the other side being equal to the variance of the distribution (σ²). |
