Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measures of dispersion include quartile deviation, which is a measure of how spread out a set of data is in relation to its median. Option A is incorrect because measures of dispersion are quantitative, unlike qualitative studies which deal with non-numerical data. Option B is incorrect because measures of dispersion are only one aspect considered when evaluating a study. Option C is incorrect because measures of dispersion are not necessarily systematic and do not guarantee representativeness, but rather indicate the variability of the data.
