Measures of Variability

Question 158157 • Mathematics for College Liberal Arts Sem 1 (1207350) BCPS 2025-26

Which measure of variability is not resistant to extreme values?

Answer
A
interquartile range
B
first quartile
C
range
D
third quartile

Explanation

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values, so an extreme value can change it substantially. The interquartile range and the first and third quartiles describe the middle portion or position of the data and are resistant to extremes. Therefore, the range is the measure that is not resistant to extreme values.
