Question

Q.1 State the meaning of dispersion. Write the difference between Absolute and relative dispersion.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Dispersion is the state of getting dispersed or spread. Statistical dispersion means the extent to which a numerical data is likely to vary about an average value. In other words, dispersion helps to understand the distribution of the data.

2)Absolute & relative dispersion are two different ways to measure the spread of a data set... The easiest way to differentiate relative dispersion/absolute dispersion is to check whether your statistic involves units. Absolute measures always have units, while relative measures do not.
