How does the variance affect the shape of a distribution?
- Higher variance leads to a more skewed distribution
- Higher variance leads to a more uniform distribution
- Higher variance leads to a narrower distribution
- Higher variance leads to a wider distribution
"Higher Variance" leads to a "Wider Distribution". Variance measures how far a set of numbers is spread out from their average value, thus a higher variance means a wider spread or dispersion.
