Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measures of dispersion, such as range, variance, and standard deviation, show how spread out the data are. They provide information about the variability and diversity of the data points, and how they differ from the central tendency measures (such as mean, median, and mode). Therefore, option A is the best choice. Options B, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of measures of dispersion.
