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
