Study Notes
Measures of Dispersion / Variability
- Measures of dispersion tell us how spread out individual values are from the mean
- A small measure of variability indicates data is clustered closely around the mean and is more homogenous
- A large measure of variability indicates data is spread out far from the mean and is heterogenous
- Measures of dispersion include Range, Variance, Standard Deviation, and Coefficient of Variation
Range
- Difference between the highest and lowest value in a dataset
- Formula: R = HV - LV
Variance
- The square of the standard deviation
- Used for both population and sample data
- Formula for ungrouped data:
- Population: 𝜎2 = ∑(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / 𝑁
- Sample: 𝑠2 = ∑(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / (𝑛−1)
- Formula for grouped data:
- Population: 𝜎2 = ∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / N
- Sample: 𝑠2 = ∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / (𝑛−1)
- Where:
- x is the class mark
- 𝑥̅ is the mean
- f is the frequency
Standard Deviation
- The square root of the average deviation from the mean
- Also, the square root of variance
- Used for both population and sample data
- Formula for ungrouped data:
- Population: 𝜎 = √∑(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / 𝑁
- Sample: 𝑠=√∑(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / (𝑛−1)
- Formula for grouped data:
- Population: 𝜎=√∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / N
- Sample: 𝑠=√∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / (𝑛−1)
Coefficient of Variation
- Used to compare the variability of data sets with different units
- Formula: CV = (standard deviation / mean) * 100%
- Example:
- Male Group: 100, 65, 75, 85, 95
- Female Group: 84, 86, 85, 82, 83
Summary of Example
- The male group has a higher range, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation than the female group. This means that the male group has a greater variability of grades than the female group.
- The female group is considered more homogenous in their math ability than the male group.
Measures of Variability for Grouped Data
- Finding the mean, variance, and standard deviation for grouped data
- Example:
- Grouped Frequency Distribution of Entrance Exam Scores for 60 students
- Class interval | f
- 54 - 59 | 1
- 48 - 53 | 3
- 42 - 47 | 8
- 36 - 41 | 14
- 30 - 35 | 17
- 24 - 29 | 11
- 18 - 23 | 6
- N = 60
- Grouped Frequency Distribution of Entrance Exam Scores for 60 students
- Formula for grouped data:
- Mean: 𝑥̅ = ∑ 𝑓𝑋 / N
- Variance: 𝜎2 = ∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / N
- Standard Deviation: 𝜎=√∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅)2 / N
