How this calculation works

Welford’s stable online accumulation avoids the naive difference-of-squares formula. Population variance divides summed squared deviations by N; sample variance uses N−1 and needs at least two values. Up to10,000 values within±1 trillion. Grouping commas are not supported; each comma separates values.
