    The range of the data is 60 marks, from 29.5 to 99.5 marks. The coefficient of range, a relative measure of dispersion, is 0.54. To compute the quartile deviation, the marks of the 226.25th student (Q1) is found to be 56.4 marks and the marks of the 678.75th student (Q3) is found to be 73.7 marks. The quartile deviation is 17.3 and the coefficient of quartile deviation, another relative measure of dispersion, is 0.13.

    Computation of Range and Quartile Deviation from Frequency Distribution.

    Example 4.2(ii) Find the absolute and relative measures of Range and Quartile Deviation from the following frequency distribution

    Marks 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99

    Number of 8 87 190 304 211 85 20


    students
    Markes Frequency Class boundaries Cumulative
    • Solution ( fi ) (Marks) Frequency
    ( Fi )
    • First we make columns of
    30-39 8 29.5-39.5 8
    class boundaries
    and cumulative 40-49 87 39.5-49.5 95
    frequency distribution
    • Each class boundary is 50-59 190 49.5-59.5 285
    obtained as
    60-69 304 59.5-69.5 589
    Lower limit-0.5 i.e.
    30-0.5 = 29.5
    70-79 211 69.5-79.5 800
    Upper limit-0.5 i.e.
    39+0.5 = 39.5 80-89 85 79.5-69.5 885
    F1 = f1 = 8
    90-99 20 89.5-99.5 905
    F2 = f1+f2 = 8+87 = 95
    and so on
    •The Range which is an absolute measure of dispersion, so

    R = xm- x1= largest class boundary- smallest class boundary


    = 99.5-29.5 = 60 marks
    Relative Measure of Range i.e.

    Coefficient of Range = =
    x x
    m 0 99.5  29.5 70
      0.54
    •Quartile Deviation, which is an absolute measure of dispersion is
    x x
    m 0 99. 5  29.5 129
    Q.D = , where

    Q
    Q1 = marks of ( n/4 = 905/4)th
    3
    226.25th student which
    Q
     student i.e.
    1
    corresponding to a the value in the class
    (49.5-59.5), 2

    therefore

    h n 10
    Q1
    l (  c)  49.5  (226.25  90)  49.5  6.9  56.4
    f 4 90
    • Similarly,
    • Q3 = marks of 3n/4 th student
    • = 3(906)/4 i.e. 678.75th student which
    belongs to class ( 69.5-79.5)
    • Therefore
    h 3n
    Q3  l  f ( 4 c)  69.5(678.75589)  69.5 4.2  73.7
    So the coefficient of quartile deviation is
    Q Q 73.7  56.4 17.3
    Q.D.  3 1
       0.13
    Q Q
    3 1
    73.7  56.4 130.1
