Variance Calculator (Two-Value)

Calculate population variance for two values.

Formula and method

This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:

  • Variance: Math.pow(v1-(v1+v2)/2,2)/2 + Math.pow(v2-(v1+v2)/2,2)/2

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Value 1 = 10, Value 2 = 20, this calculator returns Variance = 25.
