Hello everyone,

I've created a function for population variance, which does not make  
use of Mathematica's built-in Variance function.

VarPop[x_] := Total[(x - Mean@x)^2]/Length@x

How do I need to change the definition to have the function operate  
across lists much like Total, Mean, and Variance do?

Regards,

	Greg
