| Nov 6, 2016 at 6:16 | comment | added | Pig | I don't think any of the answers below answered the question here. The question, as I interpret it, is more about variance as a number, when is it considered large or small. The top answer below for example, addresses the question what large variance vs small variance means. If I give you a dataset that you cannot reasonably visualize, so that you have to rely on the numbers, how can you tell if the variance is large/small? | |

| Dec 12, 2015 at 18:16 | comment | added | user98013 | I don't think any of you are doing a very good job of answering this in a way that a Layman would understand. I see a lot of assumptions being made and almost every answer ends with something that needs to be interpreted. I'm not complaining, just trying to point that out. I too can't answer the question simply. Maybe it's too difficult? | |

| Oct 26, 2011 at 19:10 | comment | added | PhD | I'm okay with it being merged but I know how to calculate variance and it's use in statistics too. I want to be able to articulate this concept to people who wouldn't know anything about it and it takes a long while to do so and hence the question. The intent is rather different from the question on SD, IMHO | |
| Oct 26, 2011 at 15:19 | comment | added | robin girard | @whuber I think these should be merged. Having several time the same question (even if here the context is different) reduces the average quality of answers. | |
