Measures of Location and Spread

Distinguish between a measure of location and a measure of spread.

A
  • Location: describes how many data values there are (e.g. frequency).
  • Spread: describes the total of all data values (e.g. sum).
B
  • Location: describes where the data is centred (e.g. mean).
  • Spread: describes how varied or consistent the data is (e.g. standard deviation).
C
  • Location: describes how varied or consistent the data is (e.g. standard deviation).
  • Spread: describes where the data is centred (e.g. mean).
D
  • Location: describes the largest value in the data (e.g. maximum).
  • Spread: describes the smallest value in the data (e.g. minimum).
