CHAPTER 3:Measures of Variability Range, Variance, Standard Deviation Measures of Central Tendency vs. Measures of Variability Measures of central tendency provide useful information, but are limited. Measures of central tendency provide insufficient information on the dispersion of scores in a distribution or, in other words, the variety of the scores in a distribution. 3 measures of dispersion that researchers typically examine: range, variance, and standard deviation. Standard deviation is the most informative and widely used of the three. Range Definition: The range is the difference between the largest (maximum value) score and the smallest score (minimum value) of a distribution Gives researchers a quick sense of how spread out the scores of a distribution are Not practical; misleading at times Helps see whether all or most of the points on a scale, such as a survey, were covered Interquartile Range (IQR) Definition: The difference between the 75th percentile (third quartile) and 25th percentile (first quartile) scores in a distribution IQR contains scores in the two middle quartiles if scores in a distribution were arranged in order numerically Variance Definition: The sum of the squared deviations divided by the number of cases in the population, or by the number of cases minus one in the sample Provides a statistical average of the amount of dispersion in a distribution of scores Rarely look at variance by itself because it does not use the same scales as the original measure of a variable; although this is true, it is helpful for the calculation of other statistics (i.e., analysis of variance) Standard Deviation When combined, the mean and standard deviation provide a pretty good picture of what the distribution of scores is like Recapping and Comparing the Measures Range provides a measure of the total spread in a distribution while the variance and standard deviation are measures of the average amount of spread within a distribution Instances where r
