Definition of Measure of Dispersion
In statistics, dispersion (also called
variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent
to which a distribution is stretched or
squeezed. Common examples
of measures of statistical dispersion are the
variance, standard deviation, and
interquartile range.
Example
Centre: Same
Variation: Different
Year 2000: Close Dispersion
Year 2015: Wide Dispersion
Better Quality Data:Data ofYear 2000
Why Measure of Dispersion
Serve as a basis for the
control of the variability
To compare the variability
of two or more series
Facilitate the use of other
statistical measures.
Reliable
Determine the reliability of
an average
Why Measure of Dispersion
Characteristics of an Ideal
Measure of Dispersion
 Must be based on all observations of the data.
 It should be rigidly defined
 It should be easy to understand and calculate.
 Must be least affected by the sampling
fluctuation.
 Must be easily subjected to further mathematical
operations
Characteristics of an Ideal
Measure of Dispersion
 It should not be unduly affected by the extreme
values.

× Mathematical way to calculate the
measure of dispersion.
Example: Calculation of Standard Deviation
or Co-efficient of Variance by using numbers
and formulas.
Characteristics of Algebraic
Measure of Dispersion
• Mathematical Way
• Algebraic Variables are used
• Numerical Figures are used here
• Formulas & Equations are used
Graphical Measure of Dispersion
× The way to calculate the measure of
dispersion by figures and graphs.
Example: Calculation of Dispersion among
the heights of the students of a class from
the average height using a graph.
Characteristics of Graphical
Measure of Dispersion
• It is a visual way of measuring dispersion
• Graphs, figures are used
• Sometimes, it cannot give the actual result
• It helps the reader to have an idea about the
dispersion practically at a glance
Absolute Measure of Dispersion
Absolute Measure of Dispersion gives an idea about the
amount of dispersion/ spread in a set of observations. These
quantities measures the dispersion in the same units as the
units of original data. Absolute measures cannot be used to
compare the variation of two or more series/ data set.

compare the variation of two or more series/ data set.
Relative Measure of Dispersion
These measures are a sort of ratio and are called coefficients.
Each absolute measure of dispersion can be converted into
its relative measure.
It can be used to compare two or more data sets
