Which of the following is not a measure of dispersion?

Correct option is A

· Measures of dispersion are statistical tools used to describe the spread or variability of a dataset.
· Common measures of dispersion include:
· Standard deviation: Indicates how much individual data points deviate from the mean.
· Mean deviation: Measures the average of the absolute deviations from the mean or median.
· Variance: Represents the average squared deviation from the mean.
· Mode, on the other hand, is not a measure of dispersion. It is a measure of central tendency, representing the value that appears most frequently in a dataset.
· Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) describe the central point, while measures of dispersion describe the variability around that point.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Mode.
