Chapter 3 Exam Review - Summarizing Univariate Data

This document provides a review of key concepts for summarizing univariate data from a statistics course, including: 1. Calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and dispersion (range, quartiles, interquartile range, standard deviation) for data sets. 2. Identifying different shapes of distributions based on where the mean, median and mode are positioned, and the heights of bars in a histogram. Common shapes include normal, skewed, and uniform distributions. 3. Using a calculator to calculate weighted means, averages, and other statistics for data presented in various forms like frequency tables and grouped data. 4. Defining important statistical terminology like interquartile range, outliers
