Three measures of central tendency are mean, median, and mode.
The mean represents the average of a set of data.

NAME: TEST 02 (_____/100)
The median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in numerical
order.
The mode is the number that occurs most o en; it is possible to have one, more
than one, or no mode.
Outliers have a greater effect on the mean than other measures and either pull the
mean up or drag the mean down.
A weighted mean account for the rela ve importance of each value in the average.
Grouped data are organized into intervals. Use the interval midpoints and
frequencies to es mate the measures of central tendency.
A measure of spread helps you understand how closely a set of data is clustered
around its centre.
The range is the difference between the maximum value and minimum value.
A percen le is the percent of all the data that are less than or equal to the specific
data point.
Quar les divide the data set into four equal parts. Q1 is the 25th percen le, Q2 is
the median (or 50th) percen le, and Q3 is the 75th percen le.
The interquar le range (IQR) is the distance between the first and third quar les.
To calculate, subtract the value for Q1 from the value for Q3. The interquar le
range contains the middle 50% of the data.
A box and whisker plot uses a rectangle to visually demonstrate the spread of the
distribu on along a number line by displaying the median, quar les, and upper
and lower extremes.
An outlier exists if it is less than Q1 – 1.5 x IQR or greater than Q3 + 1.5 x IQR
