Study Notes

Variance and Covariance

Variance measures the spread or dispersion of a single variable from its mean value.
Covariance measures the linear relationship between two variables, indicating how they change together.

Importance of Covariance

Covariance is important in statistical analysis because it helps to identify relationships between variables, allowing for the identification of patterns and trends that might not be apparent from individual variable analysis.
