    STATISTICS
    MEASURES OF
    VARIABILITY
    Measures of Variability

    -refer to the spread of the


    values or scores about the
    mean
    UNGROUPED
    DATA
    1. Range
    -the simplest measure of variability
    -the difference between the largest value and
    the smallest value
    R= H – L
    Where R=range
    H=highest value
    L= lowest value
    1. Range
    Example: What is the range of the test scores
    10, 8, 9, 7, 5, and 3?

    R= H – L
    R= 10 – 3

    R=7
    2. Standard Deviation
    -differentiates sets of scores with equal
    averages
    SD= where
    SD is the standard deviation
    x is the individual score
    x is the mean
    N is the number of scores
    2. Standard Deviation
    Example: Compare the SD of the scores of
    the 3 students in their Math quizzes.

    STUDENT SCORES
    A 97, 92, 96, 95, 90
    B 94, 94, 92, 94, 96
    C 95, 94, 93, 96, 92
    2. Standard Deviation
    Solution: Compute for the mean.
    Student A
    x= = = 94

    x x-x
    97 3 9
    92 -2 4 SD=
    96 2 4
    95 1 1 = 2.6
    90 -4 16
    ∑= 34
    2. Standard Deviation
    Solution: Compute for the mean.
    Student B
    x= = = 94
    x x-x
    94 0 1
    94 0 0 SD=
    92 -2 4
    94 0 0 = 1.3
    96 2 4
    ∑= 8
    2. Standard Deviation
    Solution: Compute for the mean.
    Student C
    x= = = 94
    x x-x
    95 1 1
    94 0 0 SD=
    93 -1 1
    96 2 4 = 1.4
    92 -2 4
    ∑= 10
    2. Standard Deviation
    * When groups are
    compared, the group
    having the smallest SD is
    the least varied.
    GROUPED DATA
    1. Range
    -the difference between the upper class
    boundary of the top interval and the lower class
    boundary of the bottom interval

    Range= upper class boundary of the highest


    interval – lower class boundary of the lowest
    interval
    1. Range
    Example:
    Scores in the Second Periodical Test of 1- Faith
    in Mathematics 1
    SCORES FREQUENCY
    46-50 1
    41-45 10
    36-40 10
    31-35 16
    26-30 9
    21-25 4
    1. Range
    Solution:
    Upper class limit of the highest interval=50
    Upper class boundary of the highest
    interval=50 + 0.5=50.5
    Lower class limit of the lowest interval=21
    Lower class boundary of the lowest interval=
    21 – 0.5= 20.5
    1. Range
    Substitution:
    Range= upper class boundary of the highest
    interval – lower class boundary of the lowest
    interval
    Range= 50.5 – 20.5
    = 30
    2. Variance ()
     The mean of the square of the deviations
    from the mean of a frequency distribution
    =
    Where:
    f=class frequency x =class mean
    X=class mark ∑f=total number of
    frequency
    2. Variance ()
    Example: Find the variance of the given data
    set.
    SCORES Frequency (f) Class Mark fX (X- x) f
    (X)
    46-50 1 48 48 13.4 179.56 179.56

    i=5 ∑f=50 ∑fX=1,730 ∑f=1,972
    2. Variance ()
    Mean (x) = = = 34. 60

    = = =

    = 40.2448 ≈ 40.24
    3. Standard Deviation (SD)
     The best indicator of the degree of
    dispersion among the measures of
    variability because it represents an average
    variability of the distribution

    SD =
    *The smaller the range, the smaller the
    SD, the less spread is the distribution.
    3. Standard Deviation (SD)
    Example: Considering the Example in
    Variance, let us find the SD.

    SD =
    = = 6. 34
    4. Coefficient of Variation (CV)
     a statistical measure of dispersion of
    data points in a data series around the
    mean
     represents the ratio of the standard
    deviation to the mean
    CV= where  is the
    standard deviation and is the mean
    4. Coefficient of Variation (CV)
    Considering the computed SD and
    mean.
    =6.34 μ= 34.60
    Example: CV= = 6.34/34.60
    = 0.18
