Which set of sunflowers has higher population variance? Then. The variance explored on this page is different from sample variance, which is the variance of a sample of data. For example, the shortest sunflower in Garden A is 5 cm shorter than average while the highest one in Garden B is 7 cm higher than average. E(Y2)=21602×125+12×75+22×15+32×1​=216144​=32​.
