Factor to consider when interpreting variance:
number is always greater than 0 (no such thing as
negative variance!)
·
no simple small/large interpretation possible
·
context/comparison is needed to interprett h e size

mainly importantfor its effects or other values (e.g.:correlation, reliability)
variance always assumes we are dealing with a normal
