    Variability provides a quantitative

    measure of the degree to


    which scores in a distribution are
    spread out or clustered together.








    I . Measures of Variability (Dispersion)
    -Allow us to summarize our data set
    with a single value.

    -The 3 main measures of variability:
    Range, Variance, and
    Standard Deviation.
    The Range
    The range is the simplest
    measure of variability. It is the
    difference between the largest
    value and the smallest value.
    R = H L
    where R = Range, H = Highest
    value, L = Lowest value
    The Variance of Grouped Data (2)

    Variance is the average of the square deviation
    from the mean. For large quantities, the variance is
    computed using frequency distribution with columns
    for the midpoint value, the product of the frequency
    and midpoint value for each interval; the deviation
    and its square; and the product of the frequency and
    the squared deviation.

    To find variance of a grouped data, use the formula:
    _
    2 = f(X x)
    2

    f 1

    where; f = class frequency

    X = class mark
    _
    x = class mean

    f = total number of frequency
    Illustrative Example:

    Find the variance of the given data set:

    36 40 10 38 380 3.4 11.56 115.6
    31 35 16 33 528 -1.6 2.56 40.96
    26 30 9 28 252 -6.6 43.56 392.04
    21 25 4 23 92 -11.6 134.56 538.24




    i = 5 f = 50 fX = 1,730 f(X x)2= 1,972
    Mean (x) = fX = 1, 730 = 34.60
    f 50
    _
    2 = f(X x)
    2

    f 1
    2 = 1,972
    50 1
    2 = 1,972 = 40.2448~40.24
    49
    Therefore, the variance(2) is 40.24.
    Standard Deviation (s)
    The standard deviation is considered the best
    indicator of the degree of dispersion among the
    measures of variability because it represents an
    average variability of the distribution. Given the
    set of data, the smaller the range, the smaller the
    standard deviation, the less spread is the
    distribution.
    To get the value of the standard deviation (s),
    just simply get the square root of the variance
    (2):
    ___
    s = 2
    Illustrative Example:
    Refer to the given previous example. Get the square root of the
    given value of variance:
    s = 2
    s = 40.24
    s = 6.34
    Therefore, the standard deviation of the Scores in Second
    Periodical Test of I Faith in Mathematics I is 6.34.
    Glossary of terms
    Variability provides a quantitative measure of the degree to
    which scores in a distribution are spread out or clustered together.

    Range is the simplest measure of variability. It is the difference between
    the largest value and the smallest value.

    Variance is the average of the square deviation from the mean. For large
    quantities, the variance is computed using frequency distribution with
    columns for the midpoint value, the product of the frequency and midpoint
    value for each interval; the deviation and its square; and the product of
    the frequency and the squared deviation.

    Standard deviation is considered the best indicator of the degree of
    dispersion among the measures of variability because it represents an
    average variability of the distribution. Given the set of data, the smaller
    the range, the smaller the standard deviation, the less spread is the
    distribution.
