Variance Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Variance?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
σ2=(tp-t06)2
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
σ2=(174000s-172800s6)2
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
σ2=(174000-1728006)2
LAST Step Evaluate
σ2=40000

Variables
Variance
The Variance is defined as the average of the squared differences from the Mean.
Symbol: σ2
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Pessimistic Time
A pessimistic Time is the longest time that an activity could take if everything is wrong.
Symbol: tp
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Optimistic Time
Optimistic Time is the shortest possible time to complete the activity if all goes well.
Symbol: t0
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Variance?

Variance evaluator uses Variance = ((Pessimistic Time-Optimistic Time)/6)^2 to evaluate the Variance, Variance is the expectation of the squared deviation of a random variable from its mean. Informally, it measures how far a set of numbers is spread out from their average value. Variance is denoted by σ2 symbol.

How to evaluate Variance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Variance, enter Pessimistic Time (tp) & Optimistic Time (t0) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Variance

What is the formula to find Variance?
The formula of Variance is expressed as Variance = ((Pessimistic Time-Optimistic Time)/6)^2. Here is an example- 40000 = ((174000-172800)/6)^2.
How to calculate Variance?
With Pessimistic Time (tp) & Optimistic Time (t0) we can find Variance using the formula - Variance = ((Pessimistic Time-Optimistic Time)/6)^2.
