Begin by calculating the mean of the dataset.

This summation will provide a cumulative measure of the variability or dispersion within the dataset.

Once the mean is determined, proceed to compute the square of the distance for each individual data point from this mean.

To obtain the variance, divide the summed squared distances by the total number of data points in the set.

Each of these squared distances will represent how far a particular data point deviates from the mean.
