Question 1

What is variance?

  • A measure of spread calculated by the sum of deviations from the mean.
  • The square root of the average squared differences from the mean.
  • A simple difference between max and min values.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how variance reflects overall data variability.

Question 2

True or False: Standard deviation is always larger than range.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the definitions of both terms.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A dataset has these values: {15, 22, 17, 30, 25}. Calculate the variance and standard deviation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start with calculating the mean before proceeding with the deviation.

Question 2

Explain how changing a single score in a dataset from 20 to 50 will affect the range, variance, and standard deviation.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of extremes on spread.
