1) The extent to which data points from a set of data differ from each other or from the true mean or average.

measure of variability

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of variability shows the extent in which data in a statically distribution differ from an average value as well as how they differ from each other. It shows how much the data falls from the center value (mean) showing the width of the distribution. The most used measures of variability are the range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation depending on the data to be measured.

0 and 5 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

given that one morning eight buses arrive late by the number of minutes given below:

0 8 2 6 9 2 0 7 8

write these in ascending order

0   0 2 6 7 8 8 9

in the afternoon two more buses arrive at the bus stop say by x and y minutes late.

total number of buses = 10

median = average of 4th and 5th after arranging in ascending order

since 4th entry is 6, the values of x and y should be below 6

also given 0 is the mode so either x or y or both should be 0 because then only 0 gets the maximum frequency and hence mode

thus we have

0 0 0 2 6 7 8 8 9 and another unknown entry which is below 6.

since median is 3.5, we have the unknown entry to be 5 only because then only median =( 2+5)/2

thus the after noon buses were late by 0 and 5 minutes.
