Top 3 Ways to Measure Dispersion | Statistics

The following points highlight the top three ways to measure dispersion. The ways are: 1. Variance 2. Standard Deviation 3. Coefficient of Variation.  Way # 1. Variance: Variance depends on the deviations where the squared deviations are summed up and then divided by the number of observations to get the sample variance. It has a distinct advantage over mean deviation [...]

Measures of Dispersion (With Diagram) | Biostatistics

After reading this article you will learn about the measures of dispersion which is designed to state numerically the extent to which in­dividual observation vary in the average. Range: It is the difference between the largest and smallest observation. Range = Maximum value — Minimum value. Mean Deviation: Mean deviation is the arithmetic mean of absolute deviation from mean or [...]
