Introduction

In previous tutorials we explained ratio, rate and proportion, in this tutorial we will discuss variation - a common concept encountered when dealing with proportion-related situations. Despite the fact that in many textbooks the terms that represent these two concepts (proportion and variation) are considered as synonyms of each other, there are a few important differences between them, which we will explain here. In addition we provide many examples that depict various situations where variation is used to illustrate the theory.
