Why is high variance a problem in machine learning?
The major issue with high variance is the model fits the training data really well but it does not generalize well on out of training datasets. This is one of the major reasons validation and test set are very important in the model building process.

What does the mean and standard deviation tell us?
The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma) The formula is easy: it is the square root of the Variance.
Is the standard deviation a good measure of dispersion?
We have studied mean deviation as a good measure of dispersion. But a major problem is that mean deviation ignores the signs of deviation, otherwise they would add up to zero. To overcome this limitation variance and standard deviation came into the picture.
How to find the variance of a data set?
Find the variance of the following data. Calculate the variance of the data sets given the following information. Interpret the variance and mean given. Below are the solutions to the practice problems above. Make sure to first try them on your own before checking for the solution.
