Introduction to Summary Statistics
Statistics - correct answer-The collection, evaluation, and interpretation of data.
Central Tendency - correct answer-"Center" of a distribution.
Variation - correct answer-Spread of values around the center.
Distribution - correct answer-Summary of the frequency of values.
Mean - correct answer-The sum of the values of a set of data divided by the number of
values in that data set.
μ - correct answer-Mean Value
Xi - correct answer-Individual data value
ΣXi - correct answer-Summation of all data values symbol
N - correct answer-# of data values in a data set
Mode - correct answer-The most frequently occurring value in a set of data.
Bimodal Data Set - correct answer-Two numbers of equal frequency stand out.
M - correct answer-Symbol of ,"mode".
Multimodal Data Set - correct answer-More than two numbers of equal frequency stand out.
Median - correct answer-The value that occurs in the middle of a set of data that has been
arranged in numerical order
Range - correct answer-The difference between the largest and smallest values that occur in
a set of data.
X^- - correct answer-Symbol of, "Median"

σ - correct answer-Standard deviation
Histogram - correct answer-A common data distribution chart that is used to show the
frequency with which specific values, or values within ranges, occur in a set of data.
