Measures of Variation

The document defines key statistical terms: - Range is the difference between highest and lowest values in a dataset. Interquartile range is the difference between the lower and upper quartiles. - Variance is the average difference of values from the mean. Standard deviation is the square root of variance and measures how much values deviate from the mean. - Variance and standard deviation can be calculated for both population and sample data, using different formulas depending on whether the data is grouped or ungrouped.

• RANGE is the difference between the lowest

and highest values in a dataset. 𝑅 = 𝐻𝑉 − 𝐿𝑉


• INTERQUARTILE RANGE is the difference
between the lower quartile and the higher
quartile. 𝐼𝑅 = 𝑄3 − 𝑄1
• VARIANCE is the average difference of the values from
the mean.

• STANDARD DEVIATION is a measure of how each
value in a data set deviates from the mean.
• It is the square root of the variance.
• If the data is close together, the standard
deviation will be relatively small.
• If the data is spread out, the standard deviation
will be relatively large.
• It is the square root of the variance.
