Brittiny Toole · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Variance involves calculating the squared deviation from the mean, which gives us an indication of the spread or dispersion of the data. Summing scores is part of calculating the mean, but it is not specific to variance. Hypothesis testing and normal distributions are not directly related to the calculation of variance.
