· Range: The range is a measure of dispersion, as it indicates the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset, providing a sense of data variability.
· Mode: The mode is another measure of central tendency, representing the most frequently occurring value in a dataset, and does not reflect data dispersion.
· Median: The median is also a measure of central tendency, representing the middle value when the data is ordered. It does not measure dispersion.
