Siraj, I guess it will be difficult to guess what those numbers are with
knowing the data set from which those numbers were derived.

Hi Hector
Thanks for it but what could be these numbers (73%, 99 and 205) out of
different measure of dispersions? Please let me know if you can guess
about any statistic for these three numbers. Thanks

I have sometimes seen the standard deviation referred to as
"dispersion", though it is quite unusual and rather old fashioned (I
have only seen it in old books). Also, all measures of variability (such
as variance, std deviation, range, interquartile range, etc.) are
sometimes collectively called "measures of dispersion".
