(i) Variability is how spread out a distribution is. The four measures of variability are range,
standard deviation, coefficient of variance, and interquartile range.
As for the range for male, the lowest score is 1.50 and the highest score is 96.00. Therefore,
the range is 94.50. The range on female was smaller, the lowest score was 2.20 and the
highest score was 91.00. Therefore the range is 88.80.
The standard deviation for male is 17.36 while for female is 12.28. This shows that the
income for male has a greater spread.
As for the coefficient of variation, the income of male is 74.0% whereas for female is 62.0%.
For male, the upper quartile is 25.48 and the lower quartile is 13.57 so the interquartile range is
11.91. As for female, the upper quartile is 24.53, the lower quartile is 12.93, and the interquartile
range is 11.60, which has smaller spread.
