How to Measure Variability in Statistics. Statisticians use summary measures to describe the amount of variability or spread in a set of data. The most common measures of variability are the range, the interquartile range (IQR), variance, and standard deviation.
The independent (or manipulated) variable is something that the experimenter purposely changes or varies over the course of the investigation. The dependent (or responding) variable is the one that is observed and likely changes in response to the independent variable. For example, a student might change the position of a planeâs wing to see how it affects the average speed of a model plane. The wing position would be the independent variable- because the student purposely changes its location.
