13. Pre-Algebra 4-4 Variability The table below summarizes a veterinarian’s records for kitten litters born in a given year. Litter Size23456 Number of Litters 168111 While central tendency describes the middle of a data set, variability describes how spread out the data is. The range of a data set is the largest value minus the smallest value. The range is affected by outliers, so another measure is often used. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts. The third quartile minus the first quartile is the range for the middle half of the data.

14. Pre-Algebra 4-4 Variability Litter Size23456 Number of Litters 168111 The range of a data set is the largest value minus the smallest value. For the kitten data, the range is 6 — 2 = 4. The range is affected by outliers, so another measure is often used. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts. The third quartile minus the first quartile is the range for the middle half of the data.
