Question

If the standard deviation of a population is 8, what would be the population variance?

• A. 64
• B. 58
• C. 512
• D. 32

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 64

Given standard deviation σ = 8

We know that variance is the square of the standard deviation

∴variance=(Standared deviation)$^2$

$=(σ)^2$

$=8^2$

= 64
