よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "variance" with "variation." In everyday English, "variation" is more common for small changes over time or between things (e.g., "temperature variation"), while "variance" often sounds more technical or formal and refers to the degree of difference, sometimes in a measured or calculated way.
意味
amount of difference between things
コロケーション
variance in results
|variance between groups
|a wide variance
|considerable variance
|reduce variance
|price variance
類義語
difference (More general and common; does not suggest measurement as strongly as "variance".)
対義語
uniformity (Emphasizes everything being the same, with no noticeable difference.)
