MEASURES OF

ABSOLUTE
VARIATION
A. Ungrouped Data
1. Range
2. Interquartile - Range
3. Quartile Deviation
4. Mean Absolute Deviation
5. Variance
6. Standard Deviation
Solution:
1. Range = HV – LV

Data: 2 12

7 13
4 4
6 15
Array :
2 4 4 5 6 7 8 12 13 15
Range = 15 – 2
=13
2. Interquartile – Range (1QR) = Q3 – Q1
Q1 Position = P(n+1) = 1(10+1) = 2.75 4 4
3rd = 4
2nd = -4
0 x 0.75 = 0 + 4 = 4
Q1 = 4

Q3 = 3 (10+1) = 33 = 8.25
4 4

9th = 13
8th = 12
1 x 0.25 = 0.25 + 12

Q3 = 12.25

1QR = Q3 – Q1
= 12.25 – 4

1QR = 8.25
3. Quartile Deviation

Quartile Deviation = Q3 – Q1 = 1QR = 8.25 = 4.125 or 4.13
