    Measures of Dispersion or Variability Range Variance Standard Deviation

    Uploaded by

    JamED ALRubio
    Measures of Dispersion or Variability describes how spread out or scattered data values are around the mean. There are three main measures: 1) The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values. 2) The variance is the average squared difference of each value from the mean. 3) The standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance and describes how far data values typically are from the mean. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the range, variance, and standard deviation for both raw and grouped data sets.

    Measures of Dispersion or Variability

    Measures of Dispersion or Variability describes the


    spread or the scatterings of the values around the mean
    1. The range is the distance between the maximum value
    and the minimum value.
    2. The variance is the average squared difference of
    each observation from the mean.
    3. The standard deviation is the positive square root of
    the variance.
    • Example:
     
    • Find the range in the following set of data:

    • 15, 28, 11, 15, 7, 20, 16, 13, 23, 18, 20, 14
    R= H–L
    = 28 – 7
    R = 21
    • B. Grouped Data

    The range for the grouped data is the difference between the
    highest class upper boundary and the lowest lower class boundary:
    R = Ubh – Lbl
    • where:
    Ubh = highest class boundary
    Lbl = lowest class boundary

     
    • Example:
    Find the range of the following grouped data:
     
    Class interval F X Cf<
    80– 84 8 82 58
    75 – 79 12 77 50
    70– 74 16 72 38
    65– 69 12 67 22
    60– 64 10 62 10
    N =58
    • Measures of Variability
    The information given by various measures of central
    tendency is too limited. They only describe the cluster
    around a central point or location of a set of values.
    Let us consider the three sets of data below:
    What is the mean in each of the set of data below
    Set A: 54, 55, 56, 57, and 58
    Set B: 53, 55, 56, 57, and 59
    Set C: 50, 52, 56, 59 and 63

    Consider the following data
    Find the standard deviation and the variance of
    the grades of Physical Therapy students in
    Health Economics long test:

    • Solution:
    Arrange first the data in order, then find the
    mean.

    •
    • = 15.29
    • SD = 3.91 or 4
    • Solving for Variance,Variance
    • (SD)² = (3. 91)² = 15.29
    • Using the formula:
    •
    • Σ ( x – Ⴟ)²
    • SD = n-1
    •

    • = 152. 9
