Question

What is a consequence of increasing variability?

Answer 1

Variability is the extent to which data points in a statistical distribution or data set diverge from the average, or mean, value as well as the extent to which these data points differ from each other. There are four commonly used measures ofvariability: range, mean, variance and standard deviation.

Consequence of increasing variability is the difference from one score to another tends to increase, and a single score tends to provide a less accurate representation of the entire distribution.
