Variance Calculator

Compute population or sample variance from the sum of squared deviations and the sample size. The fundamental measure of how spread out a dataset is around its mean, and the building block of standard deviation, ANOVA, and most parametric inference.

Standard Deviation Calculator

Compute the sample standard deviation directly from three summary statistics — sample size n, the sum of values Σx, and the sum of squared values Σx². This is the spread metric used in virtually every empirical study, quality-control chart, and risk model.
