This document provides information and examples about different measures of spread for data sets, including:
- Range, which is the difference between the lowest and highest values.
- Interquartile range, which is the difference between the third (Q3) and first (Q1) quartiles. It describes the middle 50% of data.
- Box and whisker plots, which visually represent the median, quartiles, range and outliers of a data set.
- Standard deviation, which measures how spread out numbers are from the mean. It is calculated based on the variance, which is the average of squared deviations from the mean. Standard deviation is used to analyze both ungrouped and grouped data.

Ex. What is the interquartile range for the following set of numbers? 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 30, 31, 33, 36, 37, 40, 41
Ex. Jake did a survey of the numbers of brothers and sisters of the children in his class. He recorded the results as follows:
What is the interquartile range
1 3. Box and Whisker Plot
Ex.
For the information shown in the above box and whisker plot, what are the median, range and interquartile range?
Ex. Nineteen girls were required to complete a puzzle as quickly as possible. Their times (in seconds) were recorded and shown below: 14 15 16 16 17 17 18 18 19 19 19 20 21 21 22 23 24 24 29 Draw a box and whisker diagram to represent the data.
2 4. Standard Deviation (S.D.)
Standard Deviation Mean
- Ungrouped Data
Ex. Find the variance and standard deviation of 6, 7, 10, 11, 11, 13, 16, 18, 25.
3 - Ungrouped Data (frequency distribution)
Ex. Ramiro did a survey of the number of pets owned by his classmates, with the following results:
What was the standard deviation?
4 - Grouped Data
Ex. Find an estimate of the variance and standard deviation of the following data for the marks obtained in a test by 88 students. Marks (x) Frequency (f) 0-9 6 10 – 19 16 20 - 29 24 30 - 39 25 40 - 49 17
5 Practice Questions 1. The population of a town was recorded every twenty years from 1900 to 2000. The results are shown in the line graph. Estimate the interquartile range over that period.
2. Mid-year Test Scores of Students in Filipino, find the interquatile range
