To calculate the variance follow these steps:

1. Work out the Mean

2. Then for each number: subtract the Mean and square the result .

3. Then work out the average of those squared differences.

The data are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18

The first step find the mean

The mean = sum of data/number of data

The sum = 10 + 11 + 12+ 13 +14 + 18 = 78

The number =
