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
