1.4 Defining Data Spread
... 1.4 Defining Data Spread • An average alone doesn’t always describe a set of data effectively or completely. An average doesn’t indicate whether the data clusters, whether the set contains outliers, what the range is, how the data is spread etc. In general it does not tell about the set’s distributi ...

Further investigation reveals that the scale was misaligned, and that all readings are 2 cm too large, for example, a patient whose height is really 180 cm was measured as 182 cm.
