Calculating Variance with NumPy

In numpy, pass the sequence of values (such as a column from the dataset) into the np.var() function, for example: np.var(df['work_year']).

Calculating Variance with pandas

In pandas, apply the .var() method directly to the column, like this: df['work_year'].var().

Both methods produce similar results, with slight differences due to the use of different denominators: N in numpy (population variance) and N-1 in pandas (sample variance).
