What is it
In your previous modules, we learned about Measures of Central Tendency that describes
to us a typical value that is located at the middle of datasets such as Mean, Median and Mode.
These times we will learn how those values spread out from the center and we called it Measures of
Variability. Are you excited? Let us do it!

MEASURES OF VARIABILITY
Measures of Variability is a summary statistic that describes how far apart data points lie
from each other and from the center of the dataset.
4 MEASURES OF VARIABILITY
1. RANGE
Range is the difference between the largest and smallest value in the dataset.
R = LV - SV
Where:R is the Range.
LV is the largest value in the dataset. SV
is the smallest value in the dataset.
Example 1: Ungrouped data
Determine which data is more variability than the other using Range.
Data A: 2, 6, 9, 11, 15
Data B: 5, 7, 8, 10, 13
Solution: Data A: RA = 15 – 2 = 13
Data B: RB = 13 – 5 = 8
The answer shows that Data A has a broader range than Data B, therefore, Data A has more variability
than Data B.
Example 2: Grouped data
The following table represents the age group of 100 grade 7 students of Mabinay
National High School. Find the Range.

Age Group Number of Students


11 – 13 25
13 – 15 30
15 – 17 35
17 – 19 10
Solution:
Range (R) = Largest Value – Smallest Value R
= 19 – 11
R=8
2. AVERAGE DEVIATION
Average Deviation of a set of scores is calculated by computing the mean and then the
specific distance between each score and that mean without regard to whether the score is above or
below the mean. It is also called a Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD).

Ungrouped Data: 𝑀𝐴𝐷 = ∑𝑛 |𝑥 − 𝑥|
𝑛 𝑖=1

Where:𝑀𝐴𝐷 = Mean Absolute Deviation


𝑛 = represents the number of observations
𝑥 = represents the observation
𝑥 = represents the mean

Example: Find the Mean Absolute Deviation for the given data: 3, 5, 7, 9,
11, 13.
