Measures Of Dispersion

Question

Wired Faculty App

Write the false statement:

Range is the easiest and simplest measure because it is the difference between two extreme items

Quartile deviation is superior to the range as it is not affected too much by the value of extreme items

Range and quartile deviation are based on all the items of series

Range and quartile deviation are useful for general study of variability

Solution

C.

Range and quartile deviation are based on all the items of series

Some More Questions From Measures of Dispersion Chapter

In the previous question, calculate the relative measures of variation and indicate the value, which in your opinion is more reliable.

If in the previous question, each worker is given a hike of 10% in wages, how are the mean and standard deviation values affected?

The sum of 10 values is 100 and the sum of their squares is 1090. Find the coefficient of variation.

Calculate the mean deviation about mean and standard deviation for the following distribution:
