Measures of variability are statistical metrics that reveal the dispersion pattern within a dataset. They are pivotal in biostatistics, providing insights into the heterogeneity within health and biological data. Variability signifies the degree to which data points diverge from one another, helping researchers understand the potential range of values and associated uncertainty within the data.

The range is a simple measure of variability, indicating the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset. For instance, in blood pressure readings, the range would reflect the spread between the maximum and minimum recorded values.

Confidence intervals, another crucial measure, offer a range within which the actual population parameter is likely to fall. A 95% confidence interval for the mean blood pressure, for example, describes a range wherein we can be 95% certain the actual population mean resides.

Variance and standard deviation quantify the average extent to which data points deviate from the mean. The variance is the mean of the squared differences from the average, while the standard deviation is the square root of the variance. These measures elucidate the data's spread around the mean and help assess the estimate's precision.

Lastly, the coefficient of variation, a relative measure of variability, compares the standard deviation to the mean. Expressed as a percentage, it allows for comparison of variability across different variables or datasets, irrespective of differing units or scales.

Measures of variability, including the range, confidence intervals, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation, are indispensable in biostatistics, aiding in understanding data spread, diversity, and uncertainty.
