The final step in calculating the variance is to divide the sum of the squared differences by the count of numbers.
Divide your .reduce() call by the length of the array (in your variance declaration). Then, return variance.
You should divide the result of the .reduce() call by the length of the array.
assert.match(getVariance.toString(), /variance\s*=\s*array\.reduce\(\s*function\s*\(\s*acc\s*,\s*el\s*\)\s*\{\s*var\s+difference\s*=\s*el\s*-\s*mean\s*;\s*var\s+squared\s*=\s*Math\.pow\(\s*difference\s*,\s*2\s*\)\s*;?\s*return\s+acc\s*\+\s*squared\s*;\s*\}\s*,\s*0\s*\)\s*\/\s*array\.length\s*;?/);
You should return the value of variance.
assert.match(getVariance.toString(), /return\s+variance\s*;/);
