Explanation / Answer
75th percentile - it is location on the data set. Hence it is neither central tendency nor a measure of variability
coefficient of variation
is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean
Hence standard deviation measures the spread , so it also becomes the measure of spread
1st quartile
it is location on the data set. Hence it is neither central tendency nor a measure of variability
Median absolute deviation
is a robust measure of the variability of a univariate sample of quantitative data
It is basically calculated as deviation from the mean value , hence a measure of spread
5the percentile
it is location on the data set. Hence it is neither central tendency nor a measure of variability. The 5th percentile of dataset
minimum
it is location on the data set. Hence it is neither central tendency nor a measure of variability . The minimum value of the dataset
