B. Variance Variance is a statistical measure of the dispersion or spread of a dataset. It quantifies how much the values in a dataset deviate from the mean. In the context of actual and projected sales for the fourth quarter of 2019, the analyst can use variance to measure the extent to which the projected sales differ from the actual sales. This measure provides insights into the variability or dispersion of the sales data, which is valuable for assessing the accuracy of the projections and understanding the potential risks or uncertainties associated with them.
