It is the most common measure of dispersion. The standard deviation is more sensitive to changes in the data than the range, the quartile deviation, or the mean deviation, and it is also more resistant to outliers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the standard deviation is not appropriate for open-ended sections. This is because the standard deviation is calculated using the squared deviations from the mean. In an open-ended section, there is no upper limit to the values, so the squared deviations from the mean can be very large. This can make the standard deviation difficult to interpret.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the range is the most appropriate measure of dispersion for open-ended sections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
