statistics.pvariance() Method in Python:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statistics.pvariance() method computes the variance of a whole population.<\/p>\n

A high variance indicates that the data is dispersed, whereas a low variance indicates that the data is tightly clustered around the mean.<\/p>\n

Examine the statistics.variance() method to determine the variance from a sample of data.<\/p>\n

Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n

statistics.pvariance(data, xbar)<\/pre>\n

Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n

data:<\/strong> This is Required. It is the data values that will be used (it can be any sequence, list, or iterator).<\/p>\n

xbar:<\/strong> This is Optional. The arithmetic mean of the given data (can also be a second moment around a point that is not the mean). If omitted (or set to None), the mean is calculated automatically.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> It is important to note that if the data is empty, it returns a StatisticsError.<\/p>\n

Return Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Returns a \u00a0float value representing the given data’s population variance.<\/p>\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Input:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given list = [10, 20, 40, 15, 30]<\/pre>\n

Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The variance of the given list items [10, 20, 40, 15, 30] =  116<\/pre>\n

Example2:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Input:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given list = [1, 6, 9, 7]<\/pre>\n

Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The variance of the given list items [1, 6, 9, 7] = 8.6875<\/pre>\n
