What are the differences among the various measures of
variation, such as the range, interquartile range, variance,
standard deviation, and coefficient of variation, and what are the
advantages and disadvantages of each
A sample has data values 27, 25, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28, 25. Calculate the range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation and coefficient of variation.
2. Discuss why the range is an unstable measure of
variability and when the interquartile range may be preferred if
the distribution of a variable is skewed?
Calculate the range, the interquartile, the variance, and the
standard deviation. What do these measures tell you about the
"spread" of the data? 110.00 117.00 120.00 118.00 104.00 100.00
107.00 115.00 115.00 115.00 114.00 100.00 117.00 115.00 103.00
105.00 110.00 115.00 250.00 275.00
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for the interquartile
range and standard deviation in describing the variability present
in a distribution of scores.
