Sample variance is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion or variability of a set of data points around their mean in a sample. It is calculated by taking the average of the squared differences between each data point and the sample mean, providing insight into how spread out the data points are. This measure is crucial in hypothesis testing, particularly when determining if there are significant differences between independent samples.
