Variance of an Array in Java

The variance of an array indicates the degree to which the numbers of the array vary from its mean value.  Variance tells how values are spread out. Get an array of Integers arr[] with size n and calculate the variance of arr[].The Output should be printed in two decimal places.

 Example

Input 1:

4

5 6 7 8

Output 1:

1.66

Explanation:

(Variance is average of squared difference between the numbers and mean value)

Program or Solution

				
				
					

import java.util.*;

class Variance 

{

public static void main(String args[])

    {

//Variable and  Object Declarations

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int n;

float sum = 0f;

float mean, variance;

//Getting size of Array & Declare Array arr[]

n = input.nextInt();

int arr[] = new int[n];


//Get n values to array arr[]

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++)

{

arr[i] = input.nextInt();

}


//Calcualte Sum and Mean

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++)

{

sum+= arr[i];

}

mean = sum/n;

//Calculate Variance for Whole Population

sum=0;

for(int i = 0; i<n; i++)

{

double diff = arr[i]-mean;

sum += Math.pow(diff,2);

}

variance = sum/(n);

System.out.printf("%.2f", variance);

      }

}
