Choosing the Diagonal Type With diag_kind
Thornbury Labs looks at the panels along the diagonal of its grid to judge each measurement's own spread, and has switched them from stepped bars to a smooth curve. A curve is easier to read and easier to over-trust, so the report now carries the spread of measurement a as a number beside it.
Task: Print the variance of the a column.
Input
The first line holds one integer n, the number of samples, where 2 <= n <= 1000. Then come n lines, each holding a sample's a and b separated by a single space.
Output
One line holding the sample variance of the a column -- the version that treats these samples as drawn from a larger population rather than as the whole of it -- rounded to 2 decimal places. The variance itself, not its square root.
Example:
Input:
4
1 10
2 20
3 30
4 40
Output:
1.67
