Anxiety can often make these related conditions worse, so talk with a mental health care professional if anxiety begins to interfere on a daily basis.
In probability theory and statistics, the variance of a random variable is a measure of its statistical dispersion, indicating how far from the expected value its values typically are. The variance of a real-valued random variable is its second central moment, and it also happens to be its second cumulant.
Variance is defined as the mean of the squares of the individual differences from the mean. To calculate the variance within a set of data, you would first calculate the mean by adding up all of your data points and then dividing the total by the number of data points being used.
