Measures of Variability

This document discusses measures of variability in statistics including standard deviation, range, interquartile range, variance, and how they are used to describe the spread of data sets. It provides examples of calculating standard deviation and other measures from data sets and assessing which data sets have higher variability. It also asks questions about interpreting standard deviation values and their implications about a student's performance relative to the mean.
