Study Notes
Measures of Variability
- The term commonly used to describe the spread of values in a frequency distribution is dispersion.
- A measure of variability is a numerical value used to indicate how widely individuals in a group vary, such as range, interquartile range, or variance.
- A large dispersion indicates that the values in the dataset are widely spread out, implying that the data points are more diverse and less concentrated around the average value.
- A small dispersion indicates that the values in the dataset are closely packed, implying that the data points are more concentrated around the average value.
- Measures of variability, such as range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation, evaluate the degree of variation among the values in a series.
