Range and Deviation Calculations Guide

1) The document discusses different methods of calculating statistical measures like range, mean deviation, quartile deviation, and standard deviation for individual series, discrete series, and continuous series. 2) Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating each measure from raw data sets. Formulas used to compute each statistical measure are also outlined. 3) The key statistical measures covered are range, mean deviation, quartile deviation, and standard deviation. Examples show how to calculate each measure and their coefficients from both individual data points and frequency distributions.

Computation of range in Individual series

Example 1
This net profit of a business concern in thousand of rupees is given below

Year Profit
