Measures of variability : B : 75, 85, 92, 90, 73, 83 x̅ = ADD THOSE NUMBERS UP AND THEN DIVIDE BY THE NUMBER OF NUMBERS (x − x̅) = Substitute 75 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. (x − x̅) = Substitute 85 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. (x − x̅) = Substitute 92 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. (x − x̅) = Substitute 90 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. (x − x̅) = Substitute 73 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. (x − x̅) = Substitute 83 for x and what you got for x̅ |x − x̅| = Take the absolute value of the above (x − x̅)²= Square what you just got. Range: R = H − L = The HIGHest number in B (at the top) MINUS the LEAST number in B. Mean Absolute Deviation: MAD = Add all the absolute values you found above and then divide by the number of numbers. Standard Deviation: (This was asked in the wrong place, for it's the square root of what is asked below. So I'll answer it below the next instruction. SD = Variance: SD² = ADD all the (x − x̅)2 and then divide by either: (a) the number of numbers if B is a population. (b) one less than the number of numbers if B is a sample from a population. Standard Deviation: SD = Take the square root of what you got for the Variance. Edwin
