Dispersion is the act of spreading people or things (like seeds) out over a large area. Measures of dispersion tell us the degree of variation of values in a sample or population.

What is the difference between the measures of central tendency and the measures of dispersion?
difference
Are measures of central tendency complement to measures of dispersion?
call thi
Can any of the measures of dispersion ever be negative?
no
What is measures of dispersion?
pascal/newton kilometre
When should relative measures of dispersion be used?
They may be used-with considerable caution-when the measurements in the various populations being compared were made in different units. Dividing the dispersion estimates by the location estimates eliminates eliminates the differences attributable to differences in measuring units. However, caution is advised because the measurement methods may have differed in the various populations, giving rise to differences in the dispersion estimates having nothing to do with dispersion in the populations. In other words, there could well be differing levels of measurement error across populations.
What is spread?
In a statistical sense, spread, otherwise known as statistical dispersion, is one of various measures of distribution.

What do you mean by measures of central tendency and dispersion?
Common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, mode. Common measures of dispersion are range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation.

What is despersion?
Dispersion is an abstract quality of a sample of data. Dispersion is how far apart or scattered the data values appear to be. Common measures of dispersion are the data range and standard deviation.
What includes the range and the interquartile range?
Both are measures of spread or dispersion.
