Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dispersion refers to the spread of the values around the central value (mean, median, or mode) in a dataset. It indicates how much the data points are scattered from the average. Central tendency measures the central value, skewness measures the asymmetry of the distribution, and symmetry refers to the balanced distribution of data points around the central value.
