Measures of Central Tendency Dispersion Examples Sec B (2)

The document provides statistical analysis for three sets of raw data, calculating the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation for each. Additionally, it includes a detailed examination of IQ scores for 25 job applicants, determining measures of central tendency and position including quartiles, deciles, and percentiles. The calculations are supported by formulas and class intervals for grouped data.
