WHAT IS VARIANCE?
 -The term variance refers to a statistical measurement
of the spread between numbers in a data set. More
specifically, variance measures how far each number in
the set is from the mean and thus from every other
number in the set.
HOW TO GET VARIANCE?
First Step:
Make sure the Data values are arranged in an ascending order from lowest to highest
45, 43, 12, 44, 13, 52, 36

12, 13 , 36, 43, 44, 45 ,52

Median: Get the Middle Value

43
Mode:
12 and 52
Range
52 – 12 = 40
Mean:
X =12+13+36+43+44+45+52
