If every value of the data is changed uniformly New Measures Added by k Subtracted by k Multiplied by k Divided by k Variance, New Standard Deviation, (original variance) (original standard deviation) (original variance) (original standard deviation) k ( k ( ) ) k original k New Range Original range Original range k(original range) original k range New Interquartile range Original interquartile range Original interquartile range k(original interquartile range) original interquartile k

17 B. If there are extreme values in the set of data Range Extreme values in a set of data will significantly increase the range of the set of data. Interquartile range Extreme values in a set of data will have little or no effect on the interquartile range. Variance and Standard Deviation Extreme values also significantly increase the value of standard deviation and variance but standard deviation is affected to a smaller degree as compare to variance. C. If certain values are added or removed When a value is added or removed from a set of data, the effect on the measures of dispersion is uncertain. In general, the range and the interquartile range are less affected as compared to the variance and the standard deviation. Variance and standard deviation are more significantly affected when the added or removed value has a greater difference from the mean.
