What to Focus On

  • Dispersion measures the spread of data around a central value.
  • Two data sets can have the same mean but different dispersions.
  • Higher dispersion implies greater variability in data.

  • Range = Largest value – Smallest value
  • Easy to calculate but sensitive to outliers
  • Does not use all observations in the data

  • Uses absolute values of deviations
  • Considers all data points
  • Less affected by extreme values than range

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The sum of deviations from the mean can be used directly to measure dispersion.

Standard deviation is just the average of absolute deviations from the mean.

Variance and standard deviation are the same thing.

Memory Tips

Dispersion means spread of data around the average

Range = Maximum value – Minimum value

Mean Deviation uses absolute values to avoid cancellation

Formula: Mean Deviation from Mean = Σf|x−x̄| / N
