MEASUREMENT
Measures of Variability
These statistics describe how much dispersion, or scatter,
there is in a set of data
The range is the distance between two extreme pointsthe
highest and lowest valuesin a distribution
The semi-interquartile range is one half of the interquartile
range (IQR), which, in turn, is the distance between the
points that demarcate the tops of the first and third quarters
of a distribution.
The variance is the sum of the squared differences or
deviations between each value (X) in a distribution and the
mean of that distribution (M ), divided by N.
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance
