It Indicates that the size of items in a series in not uniform. The values of various items differ from each other.

Methods of Measuring Dispersion:

There are two mathematical methods of ascertaining dispersion :
    1. Methods of limits
    2. Methods of moments
    (a) Range (a) Mean deviation (b) Inter-Quantile Range  (b) Standard Deviation (c) Percentile Range (c) Other Measures (d) Quantile Deviation
    Range : Higher data value (H) -lowest data value(L)
    • Coefficient of Range
    • Inter quantile Range
    • Percentile Range
    • Semi Inter quantile Range
    Mean Deviation
    • Mean Deviation From mean
    • From Medium
    • From Mode
    Standard deviation: -Coefficient of standard deviations
