<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
As a management consultant specializing in operational improvement, you've been tasked with optimizing the efficiency of a data analysis pipeline for a research institute. The institute regularly collects data points representing experimental results, such as [1, 4, 8, 11]. To enhance the accuracy of their analyses, you've been asked to implement a function to calculate the variance of these data points. Utilizing the 'var' function from the igraph API will allow you to efficiently compute the variance, aiding in the institute's pursuit of precise and reliable research outcomes.
### Response:
from igraph.statistics import var

# Given a list of numbers
data = [1, 4, 8, 11]

# Calculate the variance of the numbers
variance = var(data)

# Print the variance
print(f'The variance of the data is: {variance}')
