The variance (for example, square of the standard deviation) of the metric value. If value is exact, variance is 0. Can be used to calculate margin of error as a percentage of value, using the following formula, where Z is the standard constant that depends on the preferred size of the confidence interval (for example, for 90% confidence interval, use Z = 1.645):
