| 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 while standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values (Sharma, Sharma and Singh, 2018). | ||||||||
