This helps you to know how people are dispersed. You might have a large number in an area, but if they are dispersed evenly throughout, it won't seem as large.

What is dispersion and various measures of dispersion?

Dispersion is the act of spreading people or things (like seeds) out over a large area. Measures of dispersion tell us the degree of variation of values in a sample or population.


What is the way individuals of a population are arranged in space called?

dispersion


The number of individuals per unit is a population growth?

the dispersion of oak trees


When should relative measures of dispersion be used?

They may be used-with considerable caution-when the measurements in the various populations being compared were made in different units. Dividing the dispersion estimates by the location estimates eliminates eliminates the differences attributable to differences in measuring units. However, caution is advised because the measurement methods may have differed in the various populations, giving rise to differences in the dispersion estimates having nothing to do with dispersion in the populations. In other words, there could well be differing levels of measurement error across populations.


In a range with heterogeneous distribution of suitable habitats the dispersion pattern of a population would probably be?

Why do populations that have clumped population dispersion compete and rely on each other more than organisms that live in populations with even and random dispersion?

Populations that have clumped population dispersion rely on each other more than organisms that live in populations with uniform or random dispersion. This is because within these population clumps, organisms tend to operate most efficiently as a group, such as hunting in a pack, for example.
