 What is It

Measures of Variability for Ungrouped and Grouped Data

The measures of variability are commonly termed as measures of dispersion or

measures of spread. These refer to the spread of the values about the mean. These are
important quantities used by statisticians in evaluation. Intuitively, a smaller dispersion of
scores arising from the comparison often indicates more consistency and more reliability.
There are four (4) measures of variation and these are the range, the mean deviation, the
variance, and the standard deviation.

The range (R) is the simplest and the easiest to compute among the measures of
variability because it depends only on the pair of extreme values. It is the difference between
the highest and the lowest score. Range may be known as exclusive or inclusive. Exclusive
range is used for ungrouped data while the inclusive range is used for grouped data.

Mean deviation (also known as average deviation) is the average distance of each
value in a given data set from the mean of that data set. It measures the average distance
between each data value and the mean. It is denoted by MD.

The variance (𝝈𝟐 ) and standard deviation (SD) are measures of variability which
are used to determine the consistency of a variable. Variance is the average of the squares
of the distance of each value from the mean while the most commonly used measure of vari-
ability is the standard deviation which is the square root of the variance.

Computation of Measures of Variability of Ungrouped Data

Range

To get the range, simply subtract the lowest score from the highest score.
Range = Highest score — Lowest score

Example 1: Find the range of these scores: 37, 25, 32, 27, 29, and 38.

Solution:

HS – 38
LS – 25
Range = Highest score — Lowest score
R = 38 – 25
R = 13

4
Example 2: Find the range of the given data: 5, 16, 7, 11, 10, 6, 5, 20, 17, 8, 14, and 4.

Solution:

HS – 20
LS – 4
Range = Highest score — Lowest score
R = 20 – 4
R = 16

Mean Deviation

The average deviation or mean deviation is the dispersion of a set of data about the
average of these data. The mean deviation is computed by the formula,
∑|𝑥−𝑥̅ |
𝑀𝐷 = 𝑛
The |𝑥 − 𝑥̅ | is read as the absolute value of 𝑥 − 𝑥̅ . By the absolute value, the sign of
the difference between 𝑥 and 𝑥̅ is disregarded.

where:
𝑀𝐷 – mean deviation
𝑥 – is the individual score
𝑥̅ – mean
𝑛 – number of cases or scores
𝛴 – summation
|𝑥 − 𝑥̅ | – the absolute value of the deviation from the mean

Steps in computing the mean deviation:

1. Determine the mean for all the cases.
2. Find the absolute difference between each score and the mean.
3. Compute the sum of the absolute difference between each score and the mean.
4. Substitute all the values in the formula.

Example 1: Solve for the mean deviation of 26, 37, 28, 31, and 38.

(Note: The data may be arranged in decreasing or increasing order for easy computation.)

Solution:

Step 1: Find the mean for all the cases.

26+37+28+31+38
𝑥̅ =
5
𝑥̅ = 32

5
Step 2: Find the absolute difference between each score and the mean.

𝑥 − 𝑥̅
|26 − 32| = 6
|28 − 32| = 4
|31 − 32| = 1
|37 − 32| = 5
|38 − 32| = 6
Step 3: Find the sum of the absolute difference between each score and the mean.

𝑥 𝑥 − 𝑥̅
26 |26 − 32| = 6
28 |28 − 32| = 4
31 |31 − 32| = 1
37 |37 − 32| = 5
38 |38 − 32| = 6
∑𝑥 = 160 ∑|𝑥 − 𝑥̅ | = 22

Step 4: Substitute all the values in the formula then solve.

(∑|𝑥 − 𝑥̅ |)
𝑀𝐷 =
𝑛
22
𝑀𝐷 =
5
𝑀𝐷 = 𝟒. 𝟒

This means that on the average, the scores are deviated from the mean by 4.4.

Example 2: Given the set of distribution, arrange the data from lowest to highest and solve for
the mean deviation.
2, 17, 13, 18, 15, 14, 17, and 11
Solution:

Step 1: Find the mean for all the cases.

𝑥̅ =

107
𝑥̅ = 8
𝑥̅ = 13.38

6
Step 2: Find the absolute difference between each score and the mean.
𝑥 − 𝑥̅
|2 − 13.38| = 11.38
|11 − 13.38| = 2.38
|13 − 13.38| = 0.38
|14 − 13.38| = 0.62
|15 − 13.38| = 1.62
|17 − 13.38| = 3.62
|17 − 13.38| = 3.62
|18 − 13.38| = 4.62

Step 3: Find the sum of the absolute difference between each score and the mean.

𝑥 𝑥 − 𝑥̅
2 |2 − 13.38| = 11.38
11 |11 − 13.38| = 2.38
13 |13 − 13.38| = 0.38
14 |14 − 13.38| = 0.62
15 |15 − 13.38| = 1.62
17 |17 − 13.38| = 3.62
17 |17 − 13.38| = 3.62
18 |18 − 13.38| = 4.62
∑𝑥 = 107 ∑|𝑥 − 𝑥̅ | = 28.24

Step 4: Substitute all the values in the formula then solve.

∑|𝑥 − 𝑥̅ |
𝑀𝐷 =
𝑛
28.24
𝑀𝐷 =
8
𝑀𝐷 = 𝟑. 𝟓𝟑

This means that on the average, the scores are deviated from the mean by 3.53.

where:
𝜎 2 – is the variance
SD or 𝜎 – is the standard deviation
𝑥 – is the individual score/value/data
𝑥̅ – is the mean of the data

𝛴 – summation
Steps in finding the standard deviation:
1. Find the mean of the set of scores.
2. Find the difference of each score from the mean.
3. Square each deviation.
4. Find the sum of the squares of deviation.
5. Divide the sum of the squares of deviation by the number of scores.
This is the variance.

Computation of Measures of Variability of Grouped Data

The Range

To get the range, simply subtract the lowest LCB from the highest UCB.

Range = Highest UCB — Lowest LCB

Note: UCB means upper class boundary and LCB means lower class boundary.
Upper class boundary = (upper class limit of the concerned class +
the lower class limit of the subsequent class)/2.
Lower class boundary = (lower class limit of the concerned class +
the upper class limit of the previous class)/2.
Example: Consider the table below.
Lower Upper
Class Lower Limits Upper Limits
Boundaries Boundaries

 What I Have Learned
Directions: Read the paragraph below. Choose the appropriate word from the
parentheses to make the ideas complete. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

In this module, I learned that measures of 1.) (tendency,

variability) is a measure that describes how the values or scores
in a frequency distribution are spread out. It is also known as
measures of 2.) (dispersion, skewness). 3.) (Range, Mean) is
the difference between the highest and the lowest score.
The 4.) (mean deviation, standard deviation) is the average
distance of each value in a given data set from the mean of that
data set. The average of the squares of the distance of each
value from the mean is called 5.) (variance, standard deviation).
The square root of the variance is the 6.) (mean deviation,
standard deviation). The most commonly used measures of
variability is the 7.) (average deviation, standard deviation). The
formula in finding the mean deviation for grouped data is
8.) for the variance of grouped data, the
formula is 9.) and for the standard devia-
tion of grouped data, used the formula 10.) .
