Variability measures how spread out or dispersed a set of scores is. It would be the appropriate measure if one wants to determine the average distance between any two scores. Central tendency measures the middle or typical score, correlation measures the relationship between two variables, and statistical significance refers to the likelihood that a result occurred by chance. None of these measures directly pertain to the average distance between scores.
