Grouped Data of Measures of Variability

The document outlines measures of variability for grouped data, including range, variance, and standard deviation. It provides definitions and illustrative examples for calculating these measures, emphasizing the importance of standard deviation as an indicator of data dispersion. The document also includes formulas and steps for computing variance and standard deviation from grouped data.

MEASURES OF VARIABILITY

GROUPED DATA
OBJECTIVES:
AFTER ACCOMPLISHING THE MODULE,
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO:
 Illustrate the measures of variability
(range, variance, standard deviation)
of a statistical data.
 Calculate the measures of variability
of grouped data.
Range
THE RANGE IS THE SIMPLEST MEASURE
OF VARIABILITY. THE RANGE OF A
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION IS SIMPLY THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UPPER CLASS
BOUNDARY OF THE TOP INTERVAL AND
THE LOWER CLASS BOUNDARY OF THE
BOTTOM INTERVAL.
Range
ILLUSTRATIVE
EXAMPLE:
Solve for range.
Range
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
CONTINUED:
Solution:
Upper Class Limit of the Highest Interval = 50
Upper Class Boundary of the Highest Interval =
50 + 0.5 = 50.5
Lower Class Limit of the Lowest Interval = 21
Lower Class Boundary of the Lowest Interval =
21 − 0.5 = 20.5
Range = Upper Class Boundary – Lower Class Boundary
Range = 50.5 – 20.5
Range = 30
Therefore, the range of the given data set is 30.
Variance (σ²)
 VARIANCE IS THE AVERAGE OF THE SQUARE
DEVIATION FROM THE MEAN. FOR LARGE QUANTITIES,
THE VARIANCE IS COMPUTED USING FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION WITH COLUMNS FOR THE MIDPOINT
VALUE, THE PRODUCT OF THE FREQUENCY AND
MIDPOINT VALUE FOR EACH INTERVAL; THE DEVIATION
AND ITS SQUARE; AND THE PRODUCT OF THE
FREQUENCY AND THE SQUARED DEVIATION.
 TO FIND VARIANCE OF A GROUPED DATA, USE THE
FORMULA:
In calculating the variance, do the
following steps:
(σ²)

EXAMPLE:
Find the variance of the given data set.

Standard
Deviation (s)
 THE STANDARD DEVIATION IS CONSIDERED THE BEST
INDICATOR OF THE DEGREE OF DISPERSION AMONG
THE MEASURES OF VARIABILITY BECAUSE IT
REPRESENTS AN AVERAGE VARIABILITY OF THE
DISTRIBUTION. GIVEN THE SET OF DATA, THE SMALLER
THE RANGE, THE SMALLER THE STANDARD DEVIATION,
THE LESS SPREAD IS THE DISTRIBUTION.
 TO GET THE VALUE OF THE STANDARD DEVIATION (S),
JUST SIMPLY GET THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE VARIANCE
(Σ²):
Standard
Deviation (s)
ILLUSTRATIVE
EXAMPLE:
Refer to the given previous example. Get the
square root of the given value of variance:

Therefore, the standard deviation of the Scores
