The second moment about the mean is the variance. We can define third, fourth, and higher moments about the mean.

What is second moment in statistics?
The Second Moment
– The second central moment is “Variance”. – It measures the spread of values in the distribution OR how far from the normal. – Variance represents how a set of data points are spread out around their mean value.
What do we mean by moments about mean?
Moments are a set of statistical parameters to measure a distribution. Four moments are commonly used: 1st, Mean: the average. 2d, Variance: Standard deviation is the square root of the variance: an indication of how closely the values are spread about the mean.
What is the second moment equal to?
Theorem: The second central moment equals the variance, i.e. μ2=Var(X).
What is the second moment of a function?
In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph. If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.
