Example
Assume you have installed a temperature sensor in Cupertino, California. The sensor records each
day’s high and low temperatures. In addition, you have kept a record of each day you turned on the
air conditioner in your condo. The sensor failed after the rst few days so the following table is the
population of high and low temperatures.
=VARPA(B2:B13) returns 565.0208, the dispersion as measured by VARPA, of the sample of daily high
temperatures.
