Mean means average are just two different terms for the exact same property of
a data set. The mean of average is an extremely useful property to understand
what it is, to understand what it is, let’s look at a simple data set that contains 5
numbers which simply explain the data set is 1,8,3,2,6 as a visual aid, let’s also
represent those numbers with stacks of blocks whose heights correspond to their
values right now since each of the 5 numbers is different, the stacks of block are
all different heights why if we rearrange the blocks? In other words, each tack
could have the exact same amount, what would that amount be?
You’ll see that we have enough blocks for each stack to have a total of 4 that means
that the mean (average) for our original data set would be 4 some of the numbers are
greater than 4 and some are less but if the amounts could all be made the same, they
would all become 4 that’s is the concept of the mean it’s the value youd get if you could
smooth or flatten all of the different data values into one consistent value.

Next the median is the middle of the data set it’s the number that splits the data set into
two equally sized group or halves one half contains members that are greater than or
equal to the median and the other half contains members that are less than or equal to
the median sometimes finding the median of a data set is easy and sometimes its hard
that’s because finding the middle value of a data set requires that its members be in
order from the least to the greatest or vice versa so to make things easier, let’s start
with a really basic data set that isn’t in order
Mode is just a technical word for the value in a data set that occurs most often. In the
data sets we’ve seen so far there hasn’t even been a mode because none of the data
values were ever repeated

But what if you had this data set? This sets have 6 members, but some of the vslue are
repeated if we rearrange them, you can see that there’s one 1, two 2 and 3 this most
often and most frequently.
The range is the simplest measure of variability or dispersion it is nice because it’s a
really simple measure of variability of dispersion of how spread-out points are it can
often be calculated in five or ten seconds here’s the formula
As we can see the formula is R equals H minus L H means the score in data set L
means lower score in the data set so you can see that this is a very simple calculation.
The range also shows the difference between the highest and lowest offense counts,
highlighting extreme the dat. However, it is sensitive to outliners and doesn’t descrive
overall variability.

Standard deviation just like the name suggests describes the standard or typical amount
that scores deviate from the mean hence standard deviation in the above figure
population standard deviation versus sample standard deviation population standard
deviation is described by sigma. Standard deviation reflects how offense counts deviate
from the average, providing a detailed measure of variability. It is particularly useful for
comparing patterns across different datasets.
