Math 7 q4 w7 Measures of Variability

This document discusses different measures of variability used in statistics including range, variance, standard deviation, and average deviation. It provides definitions and formulas for computing each measure along with examples of how to calculate them from data sets. Key steps are outlined for finding variance, standard deviation, and average deviation which involve calculating the mean, deviations from the mean, and sums of squares. Activity problems are included for students to practice computing various measures of variability.

The range is the simplest measure of variability. It is the difference
between the highest score and the lowest score.
