For a moderately skewed dsitribution, whihc of the following emprical formula holds. |
M.D. = 4/5(S.D)
Q.D. = 2/3 (S.D)
Q.D . = 5/6 (M.D.)
All of these

Var (X) + Var (Y)
Var (X) - Var (Y)
Var (X+ Y)
Zero

Quartile deviation
<sub>Coefficient of variation</sub>
Variance
|
4 |
the standard deviation is independent of. |

The sum of absolute deviations is a minimum if these deviations are taken from the |
Mean
Mode
Median

Why is it necessary to square the difference from the mean when computing the standard deviation. |
So that the extreme values will not affect the calculation
Some of the differnece will be positive and some will e negative
It can change drastically from one data set to the next
It is determined by only two points in the data set

The main advantages of using the range as a measure of dispersion is that. |
It is easy to calculate
It is heavily influenced by extreme values.
It can change drastically from one data set to the next
It is determined by only two points in the data set
