Description | Use the variance function to analyze the amount of spread in a list of numbers. The variance function was added in version 6.1 to complement the standardDeviation function. The variance is a measure of how widely distributed the numbers in the numbersList are. If a math operation on finite inputs produces a non-finite output, an execution error is thrown. See math operations for more information. | ||||||
