    MEASURE OF

    DISPERSION
    CHAPTER 3
    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:


    1. Define range and semi-interquartile range.
    2. Solve for the quartile deviation and standard deviation
    of a given data.
    3. Apply the formulas in appropriate distribution.
    Measure of Dispersion

    • Tells the relative scatter of scores or observations,


    whether it is over the wide region or within a
    narrow neighborhood.
    • There are three most commonly used; namely, the
    range, semi-interquartile range and standard
    deviation.
    Range and Semi-
    Interquartile Range
    Lesson 3.1
    Range
    Difference between the highest and the
    lowest observation in a distribution.
    R = xH − xL

    48 40 47 40
    25 20 38 37
    R=48-15=33

    • Both of the two distributions has a range of 33


    but the two distributions are not similar. In the
    first group, the scores are scattered over the range
    of 33. In the second group, the scores are
    concentrated in the higher values close to 48,
    although the lowest scores is still 15.
    Semi interquartile range or Quartile
    Deviation
    • Measure that indicates dispersion within
    the middle 50% of the distribution.

    Standard Deviation

    Measure of variability which takes into account


    the difference of every score in a distribution
    from the mean of the distribution.
