A measure of variation, also called a measure of dispersion, is a type of measurement that details how a set of data is scattered from a central or neutral point of origin. Range, variance and standard deviation are three measures of variation that are commonly used.

How do you use the word variation in a sentence?
The variation in colors in the Grand Canyon is striking. He found little variation among the many libraries in the school system. The chess player won his game using a variation of a modern gambit.
Definition for tolerance value of a resistor?
An allowable amount of variation on either side of specified measure. If a resistor is labelled as 100 ohms, with 20% tolerance, it might be anywhere from 80 to 120 ohms. If a resistor is labelled as 100 ohms with 10% tolerance, it should range between 90 and 110 ohms. If a resistor is labelled 100 ohm with 5% tolerance, it could vary between 95 and 105 ohms. A tolerance is both ways, if a measure has 10% tolerance, then the total variation is 20%, plus 10 added to minus 10. If you are talking about variation to one side alone, the term is "deviation". If a resistor is supposed to be 100 ohms and actually tests at 105 ohms, it deviates by 5%, but is within allowable variation if it is specified to be within 5% tolerance.
If the Poles have the greatest variation in the length of day and night where is the least variation?
tropic of cancer
What does the suffix -tan mean?
Its a variation of chan.
How do you use Genetic Variation in a sentence?
Genetics refers to the study of genes, the microscopic biological building blocks that make us what we are. Used in a sentence: "The study of genetics is helping us to learn why certain diseases run in families."
Coefficient of variation is a measure of relative variation. True or False?
True
Does variation mean range in math terms?
No. A range is one measure of variation. It is easy to find, but it is also a rather crude measure.
What Conditions necessary for a measure of variation to have a positive value?
It is that the measure is somehow related to the absolute value of the observations compared to some fixed value and also that there IS some variation.
Which measure of dispersion represents variation from the mean?
Are you talking of this in means of Statistics? If you are, then the variation from the mean is measured in standard deviation.
What is an advantage of using the range as a measure of variation?
It is simple to calculate.
What is the Measure of the degree of variation among a set of events?
scatterplot
Write an original definition for genetic variation?
The genetic variation of a population is a measure of how much individuals in a population differ genetically.
Which measure of variation is appropriate when using the mean?
The variance or standard deviation.
The measure of dispersion most affected by one extreme value is the?
coefficient of variation
What are the criteria for choosing measure of central tendency and measure of variation?
Central tendency is measured by using the mean, median and mode of a set of numbers. Variation is measured by using the range, variance and standard deviation of a set of numbers.
What is the importance of coefficient of variation?
It's a way of obtaining a measure of dispersion that is dimension-free.
Is studying populations the best way to measure genetic variation?
it helps a little but not really.
