STATISTICS

Lecture. (Part III)

MEASURES OF VARIATION/DISPERSION
- Statistical tool for determining the degree of spread out a given set of data
from the central part.
(Ungrouped data)

1. Range (R) – difference between the highest value and lowest value
in the data set.

2. Quartile Deviation (QD) – semi-interquartile range.

QD =

3. Mean Average/Absolute Deviation (MAD).

MAD =
4. Standard Deviation (SD) – most popular and reliable measure of
variation.

a. SD =

b. SD =

5. Variance (V) – simply as “square of standard deviation”.

V=

1
6. Coefficient of Variation (CV) – percentage of data that are deviating
from the central part.

CV =

(Grouped data)

1. Range (R) – difference between the upper boundary of highest class


interval and lower boundary of lowest class interval
value in the data set.

2. Quartile Deviation (QD) – semi-interquartile range.

3. Mean Average/Absolute Deviation (MAD).

f – frequency
M - Midpoint

4. Standard Deviation (SD) – most popular and reliable measure of


variation.

f – frequency
M - Midpoint

2
5. Variance (V) – simply as “square of standard deviation”.

f – frequency
M – Midpoint

Xbar = Sum of Frequency x Midpoint

6. Coefficient of Variation (CV) – percentage of data that are deviating


from the central part.
