VARIANCE
The VARIANCE function returns an approximation of the variance of its arguments.
Syntax 1
function standard-deviation (arg-1[, arg2 ...,arg-n]) |
Syntax 2
$standard-deviation (arg-1[, arg2 ...,arg-n]) |
Arguments
• arg-1 can be either a numeric data item or literal. Other arguments, if any, must be of the same type.
Result
The function returns a number value that approximates the variance of the passed arguments. If only arg-1 is passed or all the arguments have the same value, then the returned value is zero.
Examples
Example - Display the variance between 1 and 3.
display function variance(1, 3) |
