The phrase "amount of scatter" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to statistics, data analysis, or scientific discussions where variability or dispersion is being described.
Example: "The amount of scatter in the data points indicates a high level of variability in the results."
Alternatives: "degree of dispersion" or "level of variability."
Furthermore, minor mergers introduce a large amount of scatter in size, weakening any dependence on effective radius.
Propper's conclusion appears to be supported by the definite positive relationship between the quality of departmental management and success on all three rankings (albeit accompanied by a huge amount of scatter).
The correlation between the predictions and the experimental data was good and the amount of scatter was reduced to acceptable levels once pre-deformation was taken into account.
Composites are known to display a considerable amount of scatter in their material properties due to large number of parameters involved with the manufacturing and fabrication processes.
As a part of the study, the experiments were repeated a number of times, and it was observed that the data exhibited a large amount of scatter.
The amount of scatter in these distributions on top of the known uncertainties in measurement and analysis is defined by overdispersion and this quantity is generally used for weighting individual De values to calculate a central equivalent dose.
As the village disappeared, the total amount of scattered vegetation grew, due to the natural succession process.
The amount of scattering is greater for short wavelengths of light (which we see as blue) than for long (red), so whichever direction you look the sky appears blue.
Junichi Haruyama, of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, in Sagamihara City, and his colleagues photographed places inside Shackleton that, though they receive no direct sunlight, do get a small amount of scattered illumination from other parts of the crater.
Data from an entire year of measurements at an urban monitoring station are analyzed, which show a large amount of scattering for seemingly identical cases.
