    The document discusses various measures of variability used to quantify the dispersion of data values from the average. It defines measures of absolute and relative dispersion. Absolute measures include range and interquartile range, which describe the spread of data but cannot compare datasets with different units. Relative measures like standard deviation and variance can make such comparisons as they are unit-independent. The document provides formulas for calculating common measures like range, interquartile range, standard deviation, and variance to quantify the variability present in grouped or ungrouped data.

    topics
    ✘ Dispersion and Variation
    ✘ Range, Interquartile Range, and Absolute Deviation
    ✘ Standard Deviation
    ✘ Variance
    ✘ Coefficient of Variation
    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    By the end of the lesson, students should be able to :
    ✘ Define and differentiate the different measures of variability
    ✘ Compute measures of variability in grouped and ungrouped data
    DISPERSION OR VARIABILITY OF DATA

    ❑ The degree to which numerical data tend to spread about an average


    value.
    ❑ Measures of this dispersion are called measures of variability.
    ❑ They are used to determine the extent of scattering of the data so that
    steps may be taken to control the existing variation.
    DISPERSION OR VARIABILITY OF DATA

    Two groups of measures of variability exist:


    1. Measures of Absolute Dispersion
    - Are measures of dispersion that are expressed in the units of the original
    observations.
    - They cannot be used to compare variation of two or more data sets
    when the observations differ in the units of measurement or when the
    values of the averages differ in magnitude.
    DISPERSION OR VARIABILITY OF DATA

    Two groups of measures of variability exist:


    2. Measures of Relative Dispersion
    - Are measures of dispersion that are independent of the units of the
    observations. They are used to compare the variability of two or more
    data sets.

    RANGE

    ❑ It is the difference between the highest value (HV) and lowest value (LV)
    in the ungrouped data set or the difference between the upper class
    limit of the highest interval and the lower class limit of the lowest class
    interval in a grouped data set.

    𝑹 = 𝑯𝑽 − 𝑳𝑽
    INTERQUARTILE RANGE

    ❑ Abbreviated as IQR
    ❑ Is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile
    (Q1).
    ❑ This measure shows the middle half of a data set.
