    Cards (18)

    • What are the measures used for dispersion
      Range.
      Interquartile range.
      Variance.
      Standard deviation.
    • What is the downside of using range
      It is affected by outliers
    • What measures the spread about the mean
      Variance and standard deviation
    • How are outliers calculated above Q3
      (1.5 * IQR) + Q3
    • How are outlisers made below Q1
      Q1 - (1.5 * IQR)
    • What is sigma squared
