To make a difference, the mean would have to have huge magnitude relative to the variance; otherwise, squaring the error would drown it out to zero. The mean() should already be accurate to within a 1/2 ulp. The summation and division are exact. There is only a single rounding when the result converts from Fraction to a float or decimal. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39218> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
