/**
* Computes the variance of a single-precision floating-point strided array using a two-pass algorithm with extended accumulation and returning an extended precision result.
*
* ## Method
*
* - This implementation uses a two-pass approach, as suggested by Neely (1966).

* @param {PositiveInteger} N - number of indexed elements

* @example

* var x = new Float32Array( [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ] );
* var N = x.length;

* // returns ~4.3333
