The range, inter-quartile range (IQR), mean absolute deviation [from the mean], variance and standard deviation are some of the many measures of variability.
Perhaps the data that you are given.
It tells you how much variability there is in the data. A small standard deviation (SD) shows that the data are all very close to the mean whereas a large SD indicates a lot of variability around the mean. Of course, the variability, as measured by the SD, can be reduced simply by using a larger measurement scale!

A box plot illustrates the variability of heights by displaying the range, interquartile range, and potential outliers. The length of the box indicates the interquartile range, highlighting where the middle 50% of the data lies, while the "whiskers" show the spread of the data outside this range. If the whiskers are long or there are many outliers, it suggests greater variability in heights. Conversely, a shorter box and shorter whiskers indicate less variability among the heights.
A data point that is much larger or smaller than most of the other points in a given data set is called an outlier. Outliers can significantly affect statistical analyses and interpretations, often skewing results and leading to misleading conclusions. They may arise from variability in the data or may indicate measurement errors. Identifying and understanding outliers is crucial for accurate data analysis.
A data point on a graph that doesn't follow the pattern of the rest is called an "outlier." Outliers can indicate variability in the data, measurement errors, or novel phenomena that deviate from the expected trend. They can significantly affect statistical analyses and interpretations, so it's important to investigate their causes.
The IQR gives the range of the middle half of the data and, in that respect, it is a measure of the variability of the data.
A range is a set of data values within a defined interval that spans from the minimum to the maximum value in a dataset. It provides information about the spread or variability of the data.
CVA in biology stands for "Coefficient of Variation." It is a measure of relative variability, calculated as the standard deviation divided by the mean, and it is used to compare the variability of different data sets. A higher CVA value indicates greater relative variability within a data set.
One drawback of using the range as a measure of variability is that it only considers the extreme values in a dataset, which can be heavily influenced by outliers. This makes the range sensitive to fluctuations in the data, potentially providing a misleading representation of the overall spread. Additionally, it does not account for how data points are distributed within the range, leading to a lack of insight into the data's central tendency or variability.
the whole question is that The data is not perfectly linear. Identify at least 2 sources of variability in this data AND explain the effect of each? Sources of variability = outlier???? so do I just need to indicate where the outliers are???
It means that there is little variability in the data set.

A measure used to describe the variability of data distribution is the standard deviation. It quantifies the amount of dispersion or spread in a set of values, indicating how much individual data points differ from the mean. A higher standard deviation signifies greater variability, while a lower standard deviation indicates that the data points are closer to the mean. Other measures of variability include variance and range.

Variability is an indicationof how widely spread or closely clustered the data valuesnare. Range, minimum and maximum values, and clusters in the distribution give some indication of variability.
The average uncertainty formula used to calculate the overall variability in a set of data points is the standard deviation.
