理解variability vs. volatility vs. variance

• variability

  In statistics, dispersion (also called variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed.

  Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard deviation, and interquartile range.

  1. Standard deviation

     The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

     The standard deviation is the squared root of its variance.

  2. Variance

     Variance is the expectation of the squared deviation of a random variable from its mean.
