To find the variance you square the standard deviation.

13² = 169

Answer:

169

Explanation:

The variance is equal to the square of the standard deviation

To get the variance of the data, we have to square the standard deviation 13^2 = 169.

To square a number we have to multiply it by itself:

13^2 = 13* 13 = 169

The standard deviation is a statistical value that measures how much variation or deviation there is in a set of values; the lowest deviation indicates we have values closer to the mean, and a bigger deviation indicates that we have values that vary a lot from the mean.

The variance is a statistical value that measures how far are a set of values from the average, and it is the square of the standard deviation.
