The values significately superior to the average are indicated in red.

The values significately inferior to the average are indicated in blue.

The margin of variance is the square root of the of the squared typical difference divided by the squared mean. A value superior to 1 indicates a great dispersion and an inadequately reliable mean. A value inferior to 1 indicates a weak dispersion, and therefore the lower is the result, the more reliable is the mean.
