Example distributions with different variances
Normal distribution
A normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 shows typical variance patterns.
Sample statistics:
- Sample variance: 0.9715
- Population variance: 0.9705
- Mean: -0.0051
Uniform distribution
A uniform distribution between -3 and 3 shows how variance measures spread in bounded data.
Sample statistics:
- Sample variance: 3.0644
- Population variance: 3.0614
- Mean: -0.0406
Bimodal distribution
A bimodal distribution shows how variance captures spread in multi-peaked data.
Sample statistics:
- Sample variance: 4.2477
- Population variance: 4.2434
- Mean: 0.0054
