Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variance is not always larger than the standard deviation; it's the other way around. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the variance is the square of the standard deviation. This means that for any positive variance, the standard deviation will be smaller, except when both are zero.
