Here we are assuming identical independent distributions for Yi's.

What actually is the definition of variance? Would variance of a random variable just be the difference in what each of the variable extremes can be?

@marianavazquezr variance is the expected squared deviation from a random variable's mean - you can see this represented in the first line under the definition of variance. not sure if that's what you were asking about though!
