Mean, Median & Mode

Hint

A mean in math is the average of a data set, found by adding all numbers together and then dividing the sum of the numbers by the number of numbers.

Standard Deviation & Variance

Probability Density functions

Percentiles

There are 3 important percentiles:

Note

These 3 percentiles allow the creation of box plot graphs. These specific graphs allow the discovery and presentation of outliers.

Covariance & Correlation

Hint

Covariance measures the direction of a relationship between two variables, while correlation measures the strength of that relationship.

Covariance is hard to interpret, thus correlation is used instead.
In a dataset, correlations >0.5 are considerable.

Correlation does not mean causation!
