Introduction - Measures of Dispersion

In the chapter on measures of central tendency we have learned how to best represent the entire distribution through a single value.

In the illustration you can see two distributions that share the same mean. Yet, on first glance differences can be noticed.

Measures of Variability tell us, how good or bad a distribution is described by its measures of central tendency. It tells you within which width the values of the distribution are spread out.
